My reason isn't entirely the privacy concern, though, I just think their UX and some of their design/application decisions are _horrible_. It's an excruciating site to use if you want to do anything other than the two or three things they _want_ you to do.
* Sharing information: Easy!
* Removing information: Okay, not _too_ hard, but not as easy as sharing it!
* Adding applications/pages: Easy!
* Removing applications: Good luck doing it in less that four clicks, even assuming you know where to look!
* Unliking pages: Where the heck... oh, there it is in little tiny letters way down the left column...
And so on.
- steveklabnik 16y agoIt's because their incentives aren't aligned with yours. Of course they want to make it easy to share, and hard to wall yourself off. I'm not sure how to properly align those incentives, but you can't really blame them.
- philcrissman 16y agoThat's true. But I'm not necessarily talking about walling myself off; it should be _just as simple_ to remove an application as to add it. Anyways, you're right, but still; if they're going to continue pursuing their own incentives and not their users, I predict they'll (eventually) lose their users.
