- bogomipz 10y agoHa, I had the same thought, and yet theres still an account login prompt hovering on the page.
- spicyj 10y agoI work at Facebook. Can you provide another example link for something that's "public" but you can't access? Most public content is accessible without an account.
- jquast 10y agodoesn't the modal "sign up for facebook" that cannot be dismissed take somewhere between 50 and 80% of your screen space? I'm talking of these "public posts" your users chose to share. Or is this just my large font preference for vision impaired? Either way, it leaves very little room for text, sometimes none at all. News flash: Dark patterns harm accessability, but you knew that. Good work.
- spicyj 10y agoYes, I agree that the "Sign Up for Facebook" box is annoying. That's not my wheelhouse and not something I'm likely to have success changing. If, however, public content gives a forced login dialog, that sounds more like a bug that I can fix.
- mmel 10y agoAny publically shared video will prompt me to log in and not let me view it https://www.facebook.com/KSEE24/videos/10154851102274927/ https://www.facebook.com/KSEE24/videos/10154851102274927/ as an example
- spicyj 10y agoThanks for the reply! Just to check: At that link I see a "To see more from KSEE24 News on Facebook, log in or create an account." dialog which has a "Not Now" link that mostly collapses the dialog. Do you see the same thing or something else?
