The funny thing is that most features that Facebook has rolled out since its release has been controversial. People hated the News Feed when it first came out. Same thing with Timelines, and many others. Yet the platform has 900 million plus users, and more and more people sign up everyday. You have to wonder, if these issues are so serious (and creepy is serious, imo), then why are people still on Facebook? Are they simply making a big deal out of everything because they are bored, or is Facebook a somehow irreplaceable part of everyone's lives?

(I know it's not the latter because I quit FB a year ago and haven't looked back.)
