Short answer? You appreciate context over content. Anything and everything can be content. But not everything can be contextually meaningful.
Take what I had for diner. Should I post that on HN? Absolutely not. Not contextually relevant. What about a blog post on Angular JS modules? Now that makes sense.
If facebook has a context like HN, or a meaningful way of identifying it like Reddit, then it has been lost on me. I mean, facebook's context is that it's an address book for your local social group right? So that must mean the context is contextually dependent on that right? I don't think that's 100% true. Facebook imparts it's own context. Which is basically sharing is caring. So it's context is basically content!

Facebook's context can be perfectly described using the idiom, "Keeping up with the Jonases."
Just like people in real life try to impress their friends and coworkers with nice cars, big houses, fast motorcycles, shiny gadgets, etc. people on Facebook try to impress their Facebook friends with pretty pictures, funny videos, interesting articles, and clever status updates.
