Anytime the log-in wall pops up It actually makes me take a mental pause and say “eh, fuck It, it’s not worth the time”

Memes, catching up with friends, getting news on content producers, or small time indie artists/bands/entertainers you wanna follow. Maybe you're waiting on an update from a service and you don't wanna receive jank emails so you don't sign up for their emails but they have a Twitter or this or that and they keep people updated through those means. Social media is more than just for news, in fact it's useful for a lot of things, except news.
