Ask HN: Is facebook deliberately preventing/discouraging users from logging out?
I always feel even though the text on log out dropdown is static, it takes suspiciously unusual time to load the dropdown. This can be observed on slower connections.
- Bino 10y agoIt causes an XHR request to https://www.facebook.com/ajax/bz https://www.facebook.com/ajax/bz, so yeah, it's not 100% instant
- bangda 10y agoBut it seems suspiciously slower and I am on a 2mbps connection and it always seems to me that part loads slower compared to other parts of the page. Also it is just static text mostly, so it seems to me a deliberate attempt to discourage users to log out.
