I wonder how much of this problem is based in the subscription, or being satisfied with how existing networks already work? It's sad how current Facebook is seen as still not having enough disadvantages to it that they outweigh the advantages from a big following. This seems to be such a key factor that you have to almost intentionally wreck the network for people to eventually, reluctantly, leave.
