I'll bite. Facebook is not a social network like MySpace. For a long time it seemed to outside users like myself that the site had stagnated. It was a the Wild West of CSS, GIF backgrounds, and auto-play Spice Girls music embeds. For all the bad karma Facebook has accumulated, it has constantly driven the site toward a refined UX. I think the site is better than it was three years ago. Vice wants to criticize Zuckerberg for calling FB users "dumb fucks," but you know what? Any public site will have a lot of stupid users. When your site tries to cater to almost everyone, half of your users will be below-average. It's a statistical eventuality. Allowing these users to control the experience of the site is a bad idea. MySpace gave users far too much control, and the site became a synonym for untasteful.
