I'm as upset at facebook as you are, but misleading people into not linking to an original source is a shitty thing to do.
- ominous 10y agoI don't see it as shitty. It is simply not complying with the modus operandi of the owner of the original source (facebook). I'd rather see http://archive.is/ffjTe http://archive.is/ffjTe or even an image than to be reminded that facebook wants to be the gatekeeper of content. I do block these pop ups when I can (ublock). But that means you want the average user (not using blacklists, not using whitelists, not even using adblockers) to be reminded that he should login so as not to feel like a criminal. Oh wait. The average user has a facebook account and is always logged in. I am not the average user, I am a specific person.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y ago> It is simply not complying with the modus operandi of the owner of the original source (facebook). The authors intent is irrelevant. They are a monetized product sold to advertisers. Facebook will never act against its own interest of maximizing the size and salability of its graph network.
- ominous 10y ago> Facebook will never act against its own interest of maximizing the size and salability of its graph network. Agreed. What I meant to say is, if we don't like the agressive behaviour of "facebook acting in its own interest to maximize the size and salability of its graph network", we shouldn't link to facebook URLs.
