Yes. It has been demonstrated in the laboratories of several major universities that Skanky Burns, DrSpike, and Rasputin have become addicted to such threads to an extent that removing such threads would be greatly determinetal to their health. It has also been determined by sociologists that these threads offer a general benefit in the creation of social capital and therefore constitute a general social good for the local community.
Furthermore, physicists have begun studying the possibility that destroying threads of this nature could create a rift in space-time that, once begun, might act to swallow and devour the entire civ community - acting to erase it from all existence and time. It will not simply be that civ will no longer exist, but that it would have never existed in the first place. It is theorized by another group (though their theory is not yet widely accepted) that it would also mean that Sid Meier went from producing great games to new career in (poor) stage acting just before starting on the original "Sid Meier's Civilization" project.
Granted, if such threads were not to exist and any number of the above impacts were to take place, one might argue that we'd be better off since we'd all be far more productive workers, writers, teachers, students, and leaders in the "real world", but then it is activities such as these that enrich the human experience and make it worth having in the first place.

Of course, it has also been proven without spam, Apolyton as we know it would fall.
