I though vanity was the main driver for Facebook adoption?

In the beginning there was no news feed, so Facebook really got its start thanks to people wanting to get in touch with friends and family.

The news feed (and consequently vanity, people begging for attention etc) came much later.

That was later. The original driver was “hey all my family and friends I lost touch with are right here.”
