You don't need FB to comfortable communication with friends.

So there is no reason to use it.

If you know what FB is about, and still use it nonetheless (actually for no reason), that's highly irrational.

"I want to communicate with my friends" is just a very lame excuse for feeding the machine.

You don't need planes to meet your distant relatives, but flying is often much more convenient than other modes of transportation.

Convenience is my reason. If you don't have reasons for yourself, that's fine, don't use it, but don't say for everyone.

> feeding the machine

This is a bit dramatic.

This is not a good parallel. You can use any modern instant messenger like Telegram to talk to your friends as comfortably (or more).

It is a good parallel. Obviously if your relatives live on another continent, flying is the optimal, but for example you can ride a bus from SF to LA instead of flying.

Bus takes much longer, whereas other messengers are practically as convenient as Facebook.
