Why is the "Estzet" getting less used in German?

According to the new rules 'ß' is not used as often as before. Only after long spoken vowels or double vowels.
Due to uncertainty with the new (and the old) difficult rules a lot of people decided to drop it at all. And, when using the internet most of us are writing in a less formal style.
Nach den neuen Regeln wird "ß" nicht mehr so oft wie vorher genutzt. Nur nach langen
Vokalen und Doppel-Selbstlauten.
Wegen der Unsicherheit mit den neuen (und den alten) schwierigen Regeln haben viele Leute beschlossen, völlig (/vollständig) darauf zu verzichten. Und wenn wir das Internet benutzen, dann schreiben viele von uns in einem weniger formellen Stil.
