Do you think Heroin is good?
Is the implication in your question that social media is addictive and should be banned or regulated on that basis?
While some people get addicted to it, the vast majority of users are not addicts. They choose to use it.
People who take Heroin think it is good in the situation they are taking it.
I'm sure it's very good the first time you take it. If you don't consider all the effects before taking it, it does make sense. You feel very good, but the even stronger negative effects come after. Same can be said about a lot of technology.
