You should have edited this down. :-) Frankly, this seems even more condescending than what you started with and gives me a less charitable impression. However, I get your main points, and feel the same frustrations at times with "social" apps, but it's never bothered me to such an extent. If someone was bothering me that much, I'd hide them or un-friend them -- they provide that service, you just have to have the guts to use it.

In my experience, there are very few people that fall between the two. They are either the examples I provided above or they are, like myself, silent until they have something to provide that is of a real contribution and not just "I have a mouth, so I'm going to make stuff come out of it because I can!". So it's either a flood of drivel or a silent vacuum. I concede that social networks are not 100% noise, but the signal value is so small that I don't see there being enough return for the amount of work needed to whittle it down to mostly 'content'.
