I completely understand your point.

I am perplexed at the value of these 'distant relationships' and question if they're necessary. I have spent a lot of time thinking about that and have no good answer.

They aren't really necessary.

Honestly, if you aren't super worried about privacy, having a FB account just to open when you get curious and want to check in on someone (if they are an active poster) isn't so bad. It's the mindless addictive scrolling that gets me.

I tried that for a few years, actually. It made it seem even more pointless.

I held on to the account because I am into competitive Bass Fishing and my clubs only presence was on Facebook.

Since I've left Facebook, I'm no longer in the club and it really hasn't made much of a difference.
