“Facebook users, randomized to deactivate their accounts for 4 weeks in exchange for $102, freed up an average of 60 minutes a day, spent more time socializing offline, became less politically polarized, and reported improved subjective well-being”

In my experience Facebook offers polarization and information overload on one side, or a barrage of memes and random nostalgia on the other. I’ve given up on trying to manage what is recommended to me there, although for a while I did purge my friends and likes carefully, to some effect.

I don’t go so as far as deleting Facebook but it’s definitely less a resource and more an entertainment / distraction vehicle
