Ironically, we took to Facebook to ask users what it is about the service that keeps them going …

In just 12 short years, Facebook has managed to embed itself into the lives of 1.7 billion people worldwide — with well over half of those accounts active daily. That’s more users than households owning televisions in 2016. Moreover, five new Facebook profiles are created every second. It’s so far shown no signs of slowing down.

So it’s safe to say that the social media giant is going to be a part of global culture for a very long time. However, many people (especially in its core demographics) are feeling the fatigue of monotony, a type of boredom one runs across when a behavior becomes mundane and uninteresting. Not to mention the platform is a grossly negative place to be.

Because of that, 18- 34-year-olds are finding themselves in a love/hate relationship with the service. Many want to rid their lives of it — citing anxiety, depression, loss of valuable free time — but simply can’t get away because of how important it is to everyone.

Ironically, we took to Facebook to ask users what it is about the service that keeps them going, and what it is that frustrates them the most about it. The answers probably won’t shock you at all:

“I’m literally on Facebook right now, and I can’t tell you what I was doing here. More often than not I scroll through my feed and completely forget that I’m even here. I’m reading the words, but none of it is processing. I’m a fucking Zuckerberg zombie.” – Chris, 27

“I talk to my mom. Like, a lot, on Facebook. Some of my other family too. And of course my friends. It’s just a social gathering spot. Like I can be there and not have to be somewhere else. It’s a good bonding place.” – Samantha, 24

“No it really is the most ridiculous thing that’s ever happened. My events just now told me I have 13 things to do today with over 53 people. What clueless programmer even thought that would be worth someone’s time to read? I’m over it, but can’t get away.” – Mike, 30

“It’s fine. I don’t mind it.” – Gabe, 22

“It’s literally the worst thing about me. It’s why [Sarah] dumped me, basically. I forgot my phone yesterday at home and thought I was having a panic attack all day. It sucked. It all sucks.” – Thien, 28

“Scroll, click. Scroll, click. Argue. Like. Scroll, click. This is my life now.” – Roxanne, 21

“There was a time last year when I went a week without technology to see if I could do it. It was fine, but I felt really disconnected. I was disconnected. It’s not normal anymore to be that way. It’s stupid, but you really will lose real life friends if you don’t have a Facebook. It’ll be like shutting off from the grid.” – Harvey, 27

"The political shit is out of control. You can tell Facebook does it on purpose, too. Maybe it'll get better after November, who knows. Not likely. What are the media sites going to talk about once Trump isn't trending anymore? More dead lions and dresses?" – Macman, 27

“I don’t have a life. I was just waiting for the day I could be randomly interviewed by a magazine. Now my dream is complete. Goodbye world.” – Malcom, 24 (still very much alive)

“I don’t know, ten years ago it was a really great dating site. Like completely free. That’s cool when you’re 20, but now it’s pretty creepy. I’m spending about two hours a day reading comments though, which piss me off most of the time. Fuck people on here, though.” – Nathaniel, 31
