Well, obviously then it is not for you, and you should probably not be involved with it. Lots of thing are not for me either, but I just avoid them.
For me it is important to know what SELECT friends and family are up to. When my old Army Buddy posts that "Guys, Amie is gonna' be OK", then all of us that know her, and what their struggles they have been through, are aware, at the same time, that better roads await her, that is important to me. A dozen of us can all chime in and send them a warm message, and be glad for them.
When My Kids can post a quick, "Hey Dad, how are you today?" it is important to me. I hear from them more often 'cause they are posting to their friends at the same time, and I am making an effort to spend a part of my time in their world. Doesn't seem to me like too much effort on my part for a good payback.
Iffn' my Nephew is in a War Zone, moving SEAL's around, or in Japan on R&R that is important to me. I get a little relief when I hear that he is OK, since he is also with someone else important to me who does things that cannot be spoken about. If I see my Nephew Post I know that others are still OK. They deploy on Subs and disappear for 4 to 6 months at a time.
One post from any them notifies all of their friends and family at the same time that they are OK, and that is important to me. 'Cause it is not all about me.
As for Uncle George, if he is posting things such as Bowel Movements, I don't want to hear from him either. But then again, he would not be one of my friends, and I would never hear about him, or his bowel movements.
Just 'cause it is new (in my lifetime) does not mean it is bad. It is progress.
