I have been a member of FaceBook for several years, but about 2 years ago that cut my feed so that none of me friends there could see my posts.  Then about a year ago I received the following message
Do you know the people you're sending friend requests to?
You've been sending friend requests to people who don't know you.
Facebook is a place for connecting with people you know well, like:

    Family
    Classmates and coworkers
    People you know personally

I understand that if I send friend requests to people who don't know me, I could be blocked.
It would be a lie to say that I send friend requests to people who don't know me, and since they have cut my feed, then I see no point in lying to feed the ego of the people who run FaceBook.  Therefore I no longer use FaceBook.
