I deleted my FB probably 10 years ago and never looked back, but most people I know who still have it act like it's some vital part of life which can't be left behind. It's integrated into how people interact with the other people in their life so much they can't get rid of it.

It's not so much an addiction as a lifestyle. Telling most people to quit their FB is like telling folks in the US to sell their car and never use a personal vehicle again... they're whole life is structured around that fundamental fact, they can't just leave it behind.
