A disadvantage of real life conversations is that sometimes we have to feign interest. So we nod at the appropriate times, or say "yes, I quite agree", or whatever, when in reality we're only half listening. And real life conversations also tend to gravitate towards the mundane. I mean, let's face it, very few people will strike up a conversation by saying "wow!, isn't it astounding that we find ourselves existing on the surface of a giant water covered ball that floats in the midst of an eternal nothingness?"" People will just think you're weird!
But, with social media like Facebook, you can scan what others are saying until you find something of interest (although that search might well often be a forlorn one 😃).
And, of course, we might find 90% of someone's posts and comments boring, but we can concentrate on that other 10%. And if you do find 100% of a person's comments boring, then we are able to unfriend them.
