It's a tradeoff really, had they required an email validation before any actions there would definitely be a drop off rate in completing signups, especially early on when people didn't have large social graphs on facebook to pull them in.
- gasull 16y agoIt's not a tradeoff, but an externality paid with time instead of money. Facebook won't suffer any inconvenience, only non-users of Facebook will. Add this to their opt-out by default when adding new features, and Facebook is becoming more and more a spam platform.
