I get a lot out of Facebook. I keep up with relatives, new babies, local events, and friends' movements (travel, moving, etc.)
The problem is that many of these things just aren't posted anywhere else.
There is a real impact on my life if I stop using it. I stop learning about the 3-4 events I attend every week, including pop-up restaurants, nonprofit gatherings, and concerts. I stop knowing about major life events for the 100+ people I care about, but can't text every week saying, "What's new?"
It may not have much value to you, but you're one person arguing against 1B+ other people. There's a high chance you just don't use it like most people or don't care about the same things.
