It's a tool. Tweak it to your own advantage.

Not always an option to not add people you're not interested in. Try ignoring friend requests family members some time.
On a more serious note, I of course can of course just respond to a friend request and then unsubscribe from their updates. My biggest problem that I have with Facebook is that it's turned into a wasteland of the mass emails from last decade. Most of what I see these days are lots of re-sharings of silly images (not photos, mind you), recipes, and other fluff. This just isn't stuff that I'm interested in. I'm also incredibly annoyed that for some people for whom I subscribe to everything (like my sister), I still don't see everything they post in my feed. This happens even if I change from top stories to recent. Half the time, the mobile app ignores my site settings entirely, making me grit my teeth even more if I'm trying to find out how people are actually doing.
So really, I've just given up on Facebook as anything resembling an efficient form of communication.
