If the noise gets unbearable, people will stop interacting on Facebook.
E.g. every time I login I'm seeing lots of invites for stupid games and lots of my friends taking stupid quizzes/tests (like, "what does your birth month make you?", or other stupid shit like that).
I've blocked as many apps as I could, I even deleted people from the friends list ... but it doesn't help, as the noise keeps getting more unbearable every day (no, I don't care about what my friends ate for breakfast).
The only time I found Facebook useful was when I contacted a friend who changed his phone number. But that's about it in 2 years since I've had the account.
I'm near the low end of login frequency, probably, but it's usually the go-to place to organize parties and share photos. People also seem to like its messaging quite a bit.
The notifications are pretty easy to ignore nowadays, but my friends don't seem to be playing Farmville/Mafia Wars as much as they used to.
