I'm not trying to be disrespectful, and I fully understand that there's a huge, huge ream of people working to deliver Facebook, but honestly, I could fill multiple volumes of multiple books with the things that Facebook does wrong, and some of it is surely deliberate dark patterns, with specific behavioral objectives, but other aspects are not. Nevermind whether or not one agrees or disagrees with the all-encompassing nature of Facebook's grip on so many social circles, or whether one has an opinion about Facebook's policies and business practices, the website itself is pretty bad. Bad enough that, had I my druthers, I'd be able to create something that out-competes it, if a creation I put forward could clear the sheer gravitational inertia of the network effect that Facebook enjoys. And I realize that's no small claim, but here I am making it anyway. It's not your fault, specifically that shit sucks on Facebook all over, and I sincerely doubt you'd have the clout necessary to enact change. Since it'd be a lot to write up, and this is simply yet another peanut gallery web forum, I'll say this much: as a user, I am clueless about the decision tree I'm offered when I log into Facebook, furthermore, so much of Facebook is mystery meat links and who knows why I see half of any of it. Then as soon as a snippet of user-created content appears, it's buried. Go in to check the settings to see what the hell this system is trying to do for me, and I see trashy icons leading to incomplete features that don't even work as advertised, and I never get what I want, when used as directed. After about 30 some-odd clicks per any given session, and maybe 100 sessions of trying and retrying various combinations from a clean cookie, learned helplessness kicks in, I shut down my computer and find something better to do. BTW, this cuts across several assets and UI's throughout Facebook's offerings as a whole, for all devices.
