That's a philosophical question, and I think most agree that for their personal definiton of "value", it depends on the type of entertainment.
To build on the slot machine analogy, do you think an RNG that occasionally gives you money (but generally takes it) in a windowless, clockless room has value? And is that value worth the issues caused by them? Does the answer differ for social media?
I don't know the answer, but I think they're questions worth asking.

Some people go in, feed the slots a couple of times for the thrill of what could be and then they move on somewhat entertained by the experience. Other people get addicted to that thrill and their lives suffer as a result. Same goes for many things in life, not just casinos. It isn't simple.
