I added the qualifier "little" for a reason. Unfortunately, you decided to misquote me and paint my views in more absolute terms.

The value you get from using Facebook comes at a cost, so you ought to offset that "incredible amount of value" you're talking about. Some people incur a huge cost, as they become addicted.

> the value you get from playing video games, or watching anime comes at a cost. Some people incur a huge cost, as they become addicted.

you could say this about almost any activity in life. the fact that facebook adds nothing meaningful to your life doesn't mean that others feel even remotely the same way, there's no need for the social media bashing that gets regurgitated ad nauseum across reddit/hackernews.
