    I don't think people who aren't on Facebook actually hate it, they just don't think it's for them.

    That is not the attitude I smell. Now, my sense of smell sucks and I am well aware of that. I have seen posts just ridiculing mere existence of it. Yet, no post actually explaining why. Same case here in this thread.

      I prefer to pick and choose which changes I get (and when) rather than have them shoved down my throat against my will.

      You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

        I use it to stay in touch with friends and family but I post very little as I have no desire to live my life on line. Except, of course, for CP. :-)

        I am not questioning amount of usage. I am questioning why people crib about it. A reason please. A valid one.

          Been there. It is not really intuitive but it is not that difficult as well. Hell, way better than doing anything in SAP for God's sake.

          If you're technically capable, it's not that difficult - providing you can find which particular update security setting you're meant to be changing, but how about those who just know how to log into FB? This never ending series of twiddles and flubs make it very confusing for the neophyte.

              Totally agree to that. That is the reason why these stupid apps, hoax and other shite prevail. But that is common with internet. It is just that FB is insane user base and hence liable for scrutiny.

                  Of course wit and humor is the way to go but there has to be a substantial reason.

                  Why? Apparently an interview is passed or failed in the first 12 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMmfJWITrR0[^] so why would we need a substantial reason to dislike a website or service?

                    I remember reading a few just not sure about finding it. I know it is not difficult to find them and since I did not even tried to search, I do accept to be held guilty.

                      Now, before start off, here are few things to make note of: 1. You cannot call it bad just because of content. If that was the case, you should dislike CP as well considering amounts of rants about Q & A here. 2. If you have had a bad experience with random friend request, it is not FB's fault. 3. If you are annoyed with game requests, you should consider choosing FB friends carefully rather than blaming FB. 4. If you think content there is just idiotic, remember it is not just for people like you. Kids to old people use it. There will be everything there. Again you need to choose what you want to see. 5. If you do not like their UI, for few things I am with you.

                      In my eyes it's a platform that raises the worst side of internet to a level never seen before - and I'm talking about the opportunity to be someone else, and lie about yourself to everyone, yourself in the first place. That behavior creates a generation that thinks - because of the fake relationship built on FB - that it's acceptable and tolerated to lie. If FB (and friends) goes on people that remove the barrier between real and fake will be a majority in a lot of important places in our word - I DO NOT WANT IT!

                      I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

                                    People who get hooked to one fake profile. Isn't that what leads to fake relationships?

                                        Banking upon a disliked yet prevalent behavior and making fortune out of it, amazing. Be smart. Period.

                                        I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

                                          Don't blame him. If people had their so called moral strength, they would have never signed up. Did he come to anyone to sign up? No.
