Strange they've made it official. it's always put me to sleep as it is
One of our core News Feed values is giving people more control. Over the next week, we’re launching Snooze, which will give you the option to temporarily unfollow a person, Page or group for 30 days. By selecting Snooze in the top-right drop-down menu of a post, you won’t see content from those people, Pages or groups in your News Feed for that time period.
Seeing too many photos of your uncle’s new cat? Is your friend tempting you with endless photos of ramen on her Japan trip? It turns out, you’re not alone. We’ve heard from people that they want more options to determine what they see in News Feed and when they see it. With Snooze, you don’t have to unfollow or unfriend permanently, rather just stop seeing someone’s posts for a short period of time. The people, Pages, and groups you snooze will not be notified. You will be notified before the Snooze period is about to end and the setting can also be reversed at any time.
Controls for your News Feed aren’t new. With features like Unfollow, Hide, Report and See First, we’ve consistently worked toward helping people tailor their News Feed experience, so the time they spend on Facebook is time well spent. As News Feed evolves, we’ll continue to provide easy-to-use tools to give you the most personalized experience possible every time you visit Facebook.

I keep an account as I have family members who seem to have lost the power of speech, apart from FB so I check in once a week or so, just to check on news that I didn't need to hear anyway
I didn't mind it back in its early days, but I just got fed up with them changing it every couple of months at one point. They made the feed a cluttered mess. So, I just contacted the people I wanted to stay in touch with and told them not to contact me on there again.
I left my profile on there for another 6 months then just completely removed it. I can imagine it's even more cluttered with c**p these days!
