Is Social Media Dying?

It seems to me that less and less people are enjoying social media as they once had. Now people scroll through links and videos going viral rather than their friends pictures. FaceBook is now being taken over by marketers and interesting Huffington Post articles rather than relevant photos of your friends and family. Along with marketers taking over FaceBook, it seems the older generation 40-60 are taking a liking to FaceBook. Our parents (and grandparents) are taking over our news feeds and commenting embarrassing things on our pictures. The virtual world that we (us young people) saw as our own is now being taken over by parents posting 100000 photo's of their children. Will us young people move away from this once cherished social network because it has been so saturated?

Why are we moving away from FaceBook:

1. People are posting their annoying political opinions all over. 

2. The links and articles are overdone and irrelevant 

3. Other social media is more popular (ex: Instagram)

4. FaceBook now posts weird naked girl photos/videos

5. People post photos to brag about their kids

6. The only people who post on FaceBook have nothing else to do

7. Privacy is at stake

8. Facebook follows your Internet movements 

9. FaceBook has lost 9 million users the last year

So is the Social Media trend dying? You can decide.
