Genuinely, are you asking why people like social media in general?
For one reason or another, they find the platform to be some combination of useful or entertaining and a good way to connect with people they care about. If you don't otherwise have significant personal issues about advertising, it's not an unreasonable position to think that the pros outweigh the cons, even if you have different priorities.
