> Its really mind boggling the patience people have show this buffoon running essentially an unapproved social psyc experiment on 2 billion lab rats, imposing a half baked reward system, that amplifies randomness.
I happily use Facebook (as does almost everyone I know).
I don't consider myself a lab rat, and think it's kind of an offensive way to view your fellow humans in general.
You don't need to be so morally outraged on my behalf - Facebook provides a product that I love using, and I use it, with the understanding that they get advertising money out of it. I'm fine with that transaction, as are most people. You don't have some secret knowledge that I don't have (I imagine) - I know the same things as you, and yet I decide that for myself, using FB is worth the tradeoff of the privacy/advertisements vs. the product itself.
The same as when I decide to eat ice cream, even though it's bad for me. Do you want to put ice cream makers in prison too on my behalf?
It's worth considering that if someone disagrees with you, they might be right. Or at least be worth listening to without insulting them or insinuating anything.
