I don't use FB myself (in any mode), so this is second-hand... but my younger friends (< 30) use FB only as a necessary, lowest-common-denominator tool to keep in touch with less-close family/friends. It's low-effort ambient connection, not passionate interest or obsession. (I'm in a rural area with fairly low online/tech interest, which might affect things too.)
