"Thousands of" leave social networks
Perhaps, right now, in 2006, the first generation of users appeared on the Web, who voluntarily refuse to use social networks , because they have become too popular characters there.
At first glance, this may seem strange. Regular users of MySpace , Livejournal and other social networks are working hard to increase their popularity and the number of friends - for them this is a measure of success. It turns out not for everyone. Too many readers may scare the owners of some of the diaries, because initially they did not count on such publicity.
Excessive popularity can lead to the fact that in the comments instead of an interesting conversation there will be a meaningless noise - dozens of remarks from one or two words, which is very annoying to the author. In addition, there may also be spam.
Most popular blogs have already begun to attract the attention of spammers. For sending spam to MySpace, the “friends” function is used, that is, mailings with an invitation to join the number of friends. The difference is that instead of a friendly message, such mailings are carried contain advertising. Already created and successfully sold at a price of $ 20 programs for mass automatic mailing of this kind, for example, FriendBot.com and FriendAdder.com .

According to Nielsen / NetRatings statistics, the two largest American social networks MySpace and Facebook in September lost part of their audience. The number of unique visitors to MySpace in August-September decreased by 4% (from 49.2 to 47.2 million), and Facebook lost 12% altogether (from 8.9 to 7.8 million). Analysts believe that this is the usual seasonal fluctuations. For example, last September, the same situation was observed - teenagers go to school and spend less time online entertainment. However, against the background of seasonal fluctuations, another, more important trend may be imperceptible - the departure of users.
Neither MySpace nor Facebook disclose information about how many users have deleted accounts recently, as well as how many “thousands of people” were among them - people with more than a thousand friends.
Experienced users are often unhappy that “their native service” is becoming too popular and attracts millions of neophytes. For example, almost 3,000 old-timers of Facebook signed an official petition asking to limit the influx of new users, allowing only students to enroll.
Some users leave social networks due to losing control over private information. Any stranger can in a few minutes find out all your inside stories via the Internet. Privacy completely disappears, and only full account removal can help here.
