This is absurd. Just use something like /.'s "interesting" label/along with other labels instead of "like" so that users are motivated to categorize FB content.

This is absurd. Just use something like /.'s "interesting" label/along with other labels instead of "like" so that users are motivated to categorize FB content. Then allow them to automate the posting of their own "X" label content. FB needs to stop being closed w/r/t the greater web. It's compelling people to talk about themselves and not to explore the Web or language. FB can fix this by adding richness to its experience. It can only do that by making the tool actually motivate users to share knowledge instead of share narcissism (where I'm going, what I've done, what I said, what I'm wearing, who I'm dating, etc.). Now FB is infecting my daily life because most people essentially only wish to talk in memes. They talk as if they were speaking from a statusbox. It's adage-like, but vacuous and insipid since these people aren't reading or educating themselves. Facebooking is a cognitive disease, as they're admitting, except the point "we want dopamine anyway" is irrelevant. Don't fucking hack your users. Why admit that as if it were a justification? Bluntly -- you assholes. Stop wasting our time by constructing faux-justifications simply because the English language allows for them to look like real justifications.
