Have any of you small business owners deleted your social media profiles?

There was a post here yesterday asking about deleting Facebook/Instagram and the overwhelming response was what a great decision that was for individuals' well-being. I have been wanting to do something similar, not just for peace of mind, but also for the privacy issues surrounding those platforms. I've been on FB since 2005 and would LOVE to cut my ties with it and IG. The problem is that I am a small business owner who does benefit from social media for outreach. It bothers me having to stay on these platforms, especially as in the case of FB, I have to have a personal profile to run my business one. My question for you guys is if any of you fellow small business owners have left these platforms and what your experiences have been since. If not, have you found a way to protect some of your private information and well-being while still on there? Thanks so much!

I am a writer. I keep a Facebook profile because when folks decide whether or not to publish books, they look at social media these days. Also, they require you to have a social media following to apply for certain things.

I post annually, usually near my birthday.

You can choose how much of your life you want to share and how much of your time you want taken up by this stuff.
