I have a dog rescue and it's where a lot of our adopters find us. More so than Petfinder, our site, or other social media. I also know a bunch of small businesses that use it too. Definitely still has a lot of practical use.

It's not being "dumb enough", it's an addiction in the sense that scrolling through, liking posts and posting things gives people a Dopamine high. It's really no different than a gambling or shopping addiction.

The site was designed that way. It took hints from the instant gratification that people got from grinding in World of Warcraft and the feeling of being important that MySpace gave everyone. Facebook is nothing but a virtual Skinner Box at this point.

I only have it for groups, the only place on Facebook where meaningful interaction is still possible
