Why most people here dislike Facebook?

What is wrong with container holding crap?
I think you answered your own question. Perhaps you are trying to defend it from a programming point of view? All I know is the few times I have gone to a FB page I can't tell what in the world I am looking it. The UI I do hate. It sucks.

Content. Team FB has nothing to do with it.

Agreed. I dislike certain bits. But they are doing amazing job considering majority users use internet for them and pr0n.

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.

I don't know about anyone else, but for me... As with so many "Web apps" (including this one), it just keeps changing for the sake of change -- you never know what the UI will be from one visit to another.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
Things never improve or grow without change.

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

Exactly. I'm just as "close" to my extended family and friends as I want to be without FB. If I had to choose something about it that I dislike it would be that its too easy (sitting at home in private) to write things to or about someone that you otherwise wouldn't. On the internet this is not unique to FB - but FB is the current poster child.

I detest Facebook for its blatant disregard for privacy, demonstrated repeatedly in the past, and I have no confidence that "this" time they have all the holes plugged. I use it, however, as it is the only means I have to keep in touch with friends in far places. A necessary evil, but I keep my exposure to a decent minimum.

Yeah, because we all know the world will end if some hacker gets your phone number or a nasty chick calls you from finding off of FB. I shudder to think how horrible it must be to click a hang-up button. I mean, places of the world have people starving, but screw that, we have hang-up buttons! :rolleyes:

"If something is free then you are not the customer, you are the product". I like Facebook because it gives me another platform to show off and argue with people, two of my favourite things. Just like here and anywhere else online I assume anything I post is in the public domain and I don't post anything I would have a problem being so. That said I'm not very discreet.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Not at all. And I would also suspect that most people who say they hate facebook are not referring to the coding at all.

I don't see any posts here, so far, ridiculing the existence of it. Care to elaborate?

I wasn't blaming it for anything. You can't blame an application for the way that people choose to use it.

Facebook's existence is ridiculous! :mad: There you go... Satisfied now? ;)

Oh, absolutely. I shall go on with my night, happy in the knowledge that you posted this.
