I agree with you here, but bringing it back to the context at hand: Facebook knows what will keep people hooked in a way that helps Facebook, and sneakily optimizes for that. They don't care if the product sucks or if it radicalizes people with aggressive, difficult-to-debunk BS memes and grinds them against each other.
Yeah, OK, a lot of people don't know themselves well enough to turn their phone notifications off and delete their Twitter accounts. That's the part I don't like, and it's all cloaked behind "We're increasing engagement with a data-driven approach!"
