We went camping with 2 other couples and all of our kids, and I made the comment that I was the only one sitting around the campfire that night who didn't have a LCD glow on my face....how sad !

This.
Couple that with the unnecessary, worthless updates for the sake of making noise so other people can like/comment about it.
Examples of unnecessary updates:
- Signing off for the night with some "catchy phrase" EVERY SINGLE DAY. I really don't care when you do to bed.
- Pictures of your meal. Who cares? In a couple of hours, that substance will only be a pile of stinkin' poo. Why not post a pic of that?
- Complaining about anything and everything. Lately, it's been "It is snowing. And they didn't call school off - so now I have to drive my little Johnny to school in this dangerous weather. If you are behind me, too bad - I drive slow in the snow! Wish me luck!!" Followed by "Just got back from dropping off little Johnny at school in this snow. I think the guy behind me has a broken horn, 'cause it was going off for long times..."
- Selfies. Especially the ones that are out of focus, and only half of the person's face is in the picture.
- The "I can't believe what happens next" click-bait links.
Look, I'm all for social media - but if you are going to post - post something that has relevance or meaning. Pictures from your recent vacation, updates on how your newborn is doing, good news or bad news about your family or friends. BUT KEEP YOUR MUNDANE,MISERABLE PATHETIC LIFE TO YOURSELF! I have my own mundane, miserable, pathetic life to focus on - what make anyone think I am interested in their life.
As for catfishing? As stated above - check your privacy settings...
Now, if you'll pardon me, this miserable pathetic soul has to get ready to drive home in the snow again...
