Some people are idiots, and some are not. Joining or quitting Facebook doesn't generally de-smarten or un-idiot anyone.

Intellectual content (or lack thereof) is only a tiny part of why Facebook has become so much of a stinking cesspool. Professional propogandists for every cause and advocates for every commercial product now find employment advancing someone's pet political cause or hawking some snake old product continuously. All while pretending to be just another poster.
Facebook has become a twenty-four seven infomercial, yet at the same time - a relentless political rant that never shuts up. I certainly don't need every topic that can be spoken of regurgitated from political angles, or used as an example of how my life could be better if I followed some diet plan or took some nauseating supplement . That is unavoidable on Facebook.
Yes there are both bits of wisdom and buckets of stupidity, but it is the other aspects of Facebook that are revolting.
