There is an entire global industry of physical toys. Many targeted at adults.

Facebook is only different in that it exists in the non-physical domain. It's still a pass-time toy.

You're right that many people's livelihoods depend on toys, but it's a social network, not a toy. Are netflix twitter and google time pass toys? Hacker News must be a toy/social media site too, then. All social media sites are toys, then?

You know as well as I do that the commenter I responded to attempted to use "Facebook is a toy" as a disparaging remark; this is an unnecessary semantics debate I won't continue further.
