I use Facebook for 3 things: messenger, University/student groups, and marketplace/for sale pages.
I live outside my home country, so messenger is the only way I can talk to many friends back home (or friends here in Canada when I'm home myself).
Being in school(as well as some employers and organizations) means there are all sorts of groups for socializing, sports, clubs etc etc, and Facebook is certainly the main platform for organizing these sorts of things here.
And just a few days ago I managed to find an apartment sublet through Facebook (1 day before classes started, yes I'm that dumb).
Aside from those 3 activities, I'd estimate I spend about 30 minutes a week on Facebook max. It's just not fun, feels very lowest common denominator (despite analytics-driven content). I have the impression that a lot of people (my age or otherwise) are in a similar camp: depending on Facebook for a few key services but otherwise loath to use it.
