It's not but it's where the ppl are. I mean if you think about
   it: If you weren't here, where'd you be online to get this kind
   of input from random people? So, it serves a need of some kind.
   Hard to get into this kind of discussion on 4chan (or any of the
   chans) or tumblr, regular forums you have to really search to
   find good ones.... Google+ is good if you find the right
   community but it's not as organized as FB. Sometimes it bothers
   me that I'm here instead of elsewhere. I spent 1.5 yrs off it
   completely to dedicate to other communities... but once I let
   myself back in again, I was back into it.
