They do so mostly for reasons of protecting personal brand, but you may use this option to protect your psyche from being further hurt by other people's display of luck and achievements.

I know, there are quite a number of people I've done that to. But then it starts to get excessive, especially when I could happily block half the people I have on facebook. The other issue is constantly missing what someone has said or done because I've blocked them, and people can start to pick up on the fact you have hidden them when they start to realise you're no longer responding to what they say, or they bring up a big event you've missed. I've almost been caught out a few times. I think there's more negative than positive for me when it comes to facebook. Even if I hid everything I didn't want to see I would still sit there waiting for someone to talk to me, or constantly check for notifications. It becomes too much of a necessity for me.
