Opinion on decreasing time spent on Facebook in the Netherlands 2018
Published by
This statistic shows the answers to a survey question on whether respondents in the Netherlands were spending less active time on Facebook in 2018. As of 2018, roughly 44 percent of the respondents indicated they agreed with the statement that said they spent less time on Facebook than they used to. Millennials especially voiced this opinion.
According to the source, this is mainly because Facebook is too time-consuming and they would rather spend it on work, the household or friends "in real life". Additionally, the source mentions that privacy concerns after the scandal of Cambridge Analytica in early 2018 (the survey was held in February 2018) could play a part.
WhatsApp and Facebook remain the two most popular online social platforms in the Netherlands, with more than ten million users each.
