The ads being stuffed into my Facebook feed are the first time I've really thought about leaving FB. I don't watch any media with commercials.

You should stop thinking about it and do it. I cancelled mine June of 2010.

I didn't so much "leave" as I just stopped going.

I've taken the same approach. Also no longer using Facebook Connect to sign up for new services - which is one of the only reasons for maintaining an account.

You are the epitome of "not the target market".
