I disagree. Most people wouldn't flip the switch. And by most I mean 99.9% wouldn't even know what the option does.
I think the real answer is: adding such a switch would be very very hard UX-wise. Also imagine what would happen to users that flipped the switch and then never knew how to turn it back off, or whatever. You get the idea.
- mancerayder 9y agoI mean, I disagree with your disagreement, but do either of us have data to back ourselves up? The idea that people would or wouldn't do one thing? I do know one thing: Facebook news has become a source of derision due to its quantifiable impact on divisiveness in the US politically. And a scandal erupted on the topic of Russia funding of political ads. There's a fantastic article on the general topic of Facebook news here: https://medium.com/the-mission/the-enemy-in-our-feeds-e86511488de https://medium.com/the-mission/the-enemy-in-our-feeds-e86511... With all this mess, it's inconceivable that only .01% of people would toggle these settings. I won't argue against the idea of the UI being too complicated, that sounds absurd to me although I'm no UI designer.
