I have one (as you already know), but I don’t use it as much as would be ideal. I tend to struggle–on any social media platform–with figuring out what to post, so most of my Twitter and Facebook accounts are just me sharing my blog posts, other people’s blog posts, and other people’s Facebook/Twitter posts. And I don’t really have the interest in dedicating a bunch of time to coming up with detailed plans for what to post. So… it’s not the ideal platform for me personally, I guess (I much prefer my blog), but I do think that having a presence there could be helpful even if you don’t do a whole lot with it (I have a small handful of followers who I think only follow my Facebook page, and that’s how they see my blog posts… I think… I could be wrong; and I get interaction from fellow indie authors on Twitter who don’t follow my blog), and (at least with a WordPress.org site, I’m not sure about WordPress.com) you can set up your blog to automatically share posts to your social media, so it doesn’t even take that much work.
But that’s just my personal take on it. I know there are people who use it more than I do and more effectively, and it works great for them, so I’d at least say to try it out and see what works for you or doesn’t. If you really hate it and aren’t using it, you can delete the page after your test run.
