I think another thing that is a huge factor is the dilution effecting interaction. The spam from timeline advertising and the hundred different pages that everyone is subscribed to throughout the years, I barely see anything that anyone DOES post anymore. I have something like 175 people on my "Friends" list and, when I post something, I usually only get a like or two if that. I've stopped scrolling through my timeline because it's mostly filled with bull crap that I don't care about from random pages that paid to be in my face or random pages that I liked 5 years ago and would now rather they just shut up.
Why would anyone put effort into writing a post out? No one sees it and no one does anything with it if they do. It's pointless. Like @overcast said, people are just sick of posting. It used to have a purpose. 50 people would see it, they'd all like it and comment their opinions on it. Now nothing.
It's still Facebook's fault partially for laying out the groundwork for Facebook to become total garbage.
