Do YOU unfriend people on Facebook? New statistics reveal the average Brit's weekly 'social media cull'

Summary | According to a new poll, British people remove four Facebook friends a week. Also, they only engage with about 10% of their Facebook friends on the platform. Users said they mostly remove friends from their list if they post too many statuses/pictures. Nowadays it is so easy to form large groups of social connections, but it's also too easy to remove people from those groups. The disposable nature of today's relationships is quite depressing, according to George Charles, (spokesperson for VoucherCodesPro).
