>So what ruined Facebook?
The need for growth. When facebook has roughly maxed out its user base, how does it proceed to grow? 1. Infiltrate comment sections on major websites and require commenters to log in via facebook. 2. Optimize facebook content to increase user engagement and keep their eyeballs moving across advertisements.
Facebook could have remained a simple and fun social network app for much longer, but the need for growth is destructive.
