I deleted mine years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I cant stand it.

I could see it being useful in the manner you describe, but otherwise I think it's ridiculous.

'Unfollow' is a great tool tho, for those people whose status updates and the like you don't care to see. You're still friends with them and they don't know you've unfollowed them.

I think this might be an idea for my drag queen cousin

I unfollowed my own brother, as he likes to fight political battles on Facebook and I don't like getting dragged in. Every now and then he'll say 'Did you see that picture I posted on Facebook?' and I'll just say 'Yeah it was great' and change the subject.
