Facebook, Twitter and the like are sooooooo stupid.

I used to think the same thing but I've been keeping up with old
friends and I get daily updates on my grand-kids.

It may have some uses like that, but you have to be aware of the down
side, such as corporate America is watching you. Facebook is also
becoming a large factor in divorces also. Too many people keeping up
with "old friends" and even meeting new ones.

I'm considering removing my FB account now.

You're right. This is BS.
