Facebook was hot when you needed a .edu email from a select few universities just to register. It was cool when any .edu email would let you register. It was slightly less cool when anyone could register. It became entirely uncool when your parents, teachers, bosses, and a billion other people joined.

They ruined an exclusive club for keeping up with college classmates by turning it into the world's largest social network with no purpose.
