Yes but unlike how I used Facebook in High School, I use it mainly as a secondary means of communication. It is, unfortunately, important for my work now to keep at least some sort of media presence.
I don't just fool around on FB anymore like I used to though. I have the Escapist for that!

I do have a Facebook account so I can keep in touch with a few of my friends. That's where social media begins and ends for me. I'm not too invested in it beyond being a convenient, free way to talk to people I otherwise have trouble keeping in contact with.
I have FB, because fuck email, thats why.
I refuse to use any others personally, though I do find things of interest on them.
I only recently started reading tweets from Yatchclubgames, but only through their website and not twitter.
I'm on youtube every day but don't have an account or subscribe to any of the many channels I check each day. Idk I just want to like the things I like without having to tell everyone unless I actually want to, and not have it be entered into some "profile-matrix-cloud" TM.
My traffic is being monitored by dozens of entities as it is, I don't really need to overtly and voluntarily do their shady work for them and tag and catalogue myself.
I also enjoy having a variety of ads that I ignore completely instead of totally mis-targeted ones over and over. It makes me smile a little when I get spam for dick pills AND estrogen, hot bitches and to find out if "he is cheatn" on me.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: I have a site-blocking browser plugin and its list of sites to block consists solely of Facebook and Twitter. Also takes a chunk out of the memory usage. Those Facebook and Twitter widgets are surprisingly RAM-heavy, something which is at a premium when using an old laptop with 640MB of memory for my evening reading.

I have nothing against social media on principle, but I don't have any real accounts either: no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, etc.
I do regularly check tweets from certain people on Twitter though. Guys like Troy Baker, Moviebob, Campster (Errant Signal on Youtube) and Matthewmatosis.

Honestly I don't really like social media. I find that for the most part when I move past the point where I can actually see older friends in person or talk regularly online, that keeping a shadow of the friendship still active really isn't fulfilling for me. I'll see them when I see them but I'm not so concerned that I need posted updates on what they do everyday. I'll use email/text/steam to keep up with friends I see on a regular basis and once that stops I prefer to just move on. The only time I ever really used social media was to organize a massive, semester long software development project for a college class.
I use Tumblr pretty extensively, not really sure why though as all I do is end up reblogging music and movie stuff. I mean it's not really a social thing for me but it's something I enjoy(?) doing.
I have a Twitter but I don't use it very much, only really when I'm gushing over a recent movie or making a dumb observation.
My Facebook is basically dead, I only ever use it when my friends are planning some kind of get-together or something.

I'm a three year Tumblr veteran, however I don't really go there half as often as I used to, it's not really a social thing now so much as it is a "keepin' up with the times" kind of thing.
I deleted my Facebook account years ago after having it for... a couple months maybe, and never looked back, nothing but a giant waste of my damn time.

I have a Facebook account for some random reason, Reddit for memes and that's about it.
Strangely enough the most used Social Media (apart from The Escapist) is Steam. Both my siblings as well as my mother are on it and whenever we need to talk its the first point of call.

I have a bookfacepage I suppose, I log into it once every 2 months or so, mostly when my Guild Master tells me there's some important info in the guild group page thingy.
It's currently also the only way to communicate with a buddy that's moved to Norway for half a year. But that really just means I'll speak to him in half a year or so.

I only use facebook, but I like it a lot since it's a great way to stay in contact with people I otherwise don't get to see much if at all. There's a significant number of people I get to stay in contact with, despite having only met them once or twice, because of facebook.
I have facebook and only facebook. I don't really like it much, however it does let me message people I don't have on skype or have on my phone. I very rarely update my pictures of put a status up. In fact if I go down my entire facebook history I will only have about 5 status's, and that's over the course of a few years. I don't really like social media however I do see how useful it can be.
Facebook: Not really... It's only there for "security reasons" and, quite frankly, it's now only being mainly used for "casual" badge-hunthing... (The again, I do have a Facebook for my Youtube channel, but I digress...)
Twitter: Unless I do something on Youtube, which triggers its "auto-post" function to work or I decide to participate in @Midnight's "Hashtag Wars", my twitter account is there to look pretty, I guess...
Tumblr: To be honest, outside of porn, more porn, actual porn art, haikus, music [at one point or another], certain "role-playing ask-type" blogs, and "Rule 63" as of recently, I keep forgetting I have a Tumblr most of the time unless I'm in the mood for some porn or something like that...
Other than that, I consider going on forums a means of going on something "social media"-related in some way, shape, or form...
