"you would need to do it for all the apps"
If "all the apps" meant the half-dozen apps most played by your friends, this wouldn't be so bad.
What makes this so bad is facebook sweepstakes apps that are essentially copies of each other. Sweepstakes #1: win an ipod nano is a different app than sweepstakes #2: win an ipod touch, which is different again from sweepstakes #3: win a macbook.
My dad enters a lot of sweepstakes (winning many thousands of dollars worth of stuff per year). When he reached sweepstakes #100 from the same company, I asked him to set up a second facebook profile just for sweepstakes, so I could block them all with one click. Having a script to do it would be even better.

- lotharbot 17y agoI did hide him from my feed altogether -- or, rather, his sweeps-entering profile. For the trouble of having him set up an extra profile, I saved the trouble of having to hide apps OR specially check out his page.
- Timothee 17y ago"all the apps" does include all these me-too apps that are born every week. I haven't seen sweepstakes, but I have seen many quizzes.
