I'm 33 and FB lets me keep in touch with people I no longer see every day or even for a few months. It provides a real value for me.
Many people seem unhappy with Facebook because "ugh others are stupid". Hide their posts, problem solved. This seems to me a teenage problem, not a tool problem. We've all been teens (even if only by definition) but bashing the tool because of the users seems a bit snarky.
- chm 11y agoMy girlfriend uses Facebook for much the same reasons as you - to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away. But my gripe with Facebook is just the social dynamics of it, not the users per se. In my particular case, Facebook was, for a time, a very toxic and all-encompassing environment. It just isn't for me.
