Only my opinion but, Facebook will find a way around this. An easy strategy will be to annoy the users enough that they opt-in. For example, want to post a pic? It's seamless if you are opted-in, but your not, so click through these 10 screens while we explain why you should opt-in. Every time you post a pic, you have to view 10 screens. Most people will just opt-in. They won't quit the service or deal with the annoyances, they'll just opt-in.
- freehunter 9y agoYou may be right. Facebook does a similar thing with ads, if you run a page/business, they heavily restrict who is going to see your posts. Unless, of course, you pay Facebook to display your posts as ads. Then everyone will see them... depending on how much you pay.
- badwolf 9y agoThey do the same if you don't enable push notifications in Messenger. Every time you open the app, "Won't you just let us send push notifications?" open a chat, "ENABLE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS NOW!" open another chat "You haven't enabled push notifications yet" ...
- wils124 9y agoWhatsApp has a better image on this kind of stuff, but I’ve found it to be even more obnoxious when it comes to nagging you to enable push notifications.
- freehunter 9y agoReddit does the same thing. If you go to their mobile site, occasionally it blocks you and says "you really should download our app". And every update to the site makes more and more frustrating to use the mobile website. I don't want your app. The site works fine until you broke it.
