Second: Facebook is like the largest and most addicting flea market you've ever been to - and nonetheless, you're always there!

At a flea market you have a tons of tiny pieces of junk that are really cheap, and as you stroll around casually you buy these random things that you'll never use and that you don't really need - you'll just go home and toss it in some corner or box and you'll never use it again.
The same goes for facebook - the posts and links you're clicking on are many times just cheap junk. They're things that aren't really funny and you won't remember them anyway and it's just a complete waste of time actually - but you click on it, because it's easy, and it looks like maybe it could be something cool! And because: "Oh.. this could be good.... ah it's just crap."
So take care and don't waste your time on stuff just because it's really easy to click on it ("It's just a 2 minute video, I can check it out, 2 minutes isn't a lot!"). The really cool stuff goes viral anyway and you'll see it sooner or later.
Seriously, you should be using your friends as filters - if only one or two friends like or share something, it may not be that good; but if all your best buddies - especially those with similar taste - like the same thing then it's probably worth a look.
Just like a flea market, there's sometimes a real treasure (like my blog posts :) ), so keep your eyes open.
