Over Sharing

This item comes in the context of reports that people are sharing less content through social media - "social sharing of content has been cut in half since 2015." It describes the phenomenon of people quitting Facebook because of fake news, relentless advertsing, and a general lack of value in a service that isn't even a record of anything. I quit Faacebook in September of 2016. There was a short-term impact on my connectivity but this effect has essentially disappeared. It helps that I publish on my own website, an it helps that I have smaller more personal communities I belong to. (Note: you might encounter a whitelist wall at Ad Age. Since I switched ad blockers from AdBlock Plus to Ublock Origin my problems with sites demanding I whitelist have ended).
