I enjoy social media and use it to exchange information, observe trends in culture, and as a communication channel when convenient.

Same. I like it for the funny memes, learning news, seeing what my friends are up to. I don't see it as particularly sinister or anything. I certainly don't think of it as an escape from a "mediocre" life.
Agreed. I curated my friends and family and who I follow and now it's more pleasant to use.
