What does fluther mean to you?

I am new to fluther, and I must admit its very intriguing for me to see how many people are seemingly addicted to fluther. I see the lurve scores of people in the thousands, in the ten thousands, and I cant help but think, damn. So I simply ask, what does a flutherite get out of fluther? Do you like reading about the problems of others, do you just use fluther to vent, or do you do it because your bored etc..
