Okay, I'll share a pet peeve about Facebook. It's when a post appears in my feed which I can do nothing with except share it. I can't interact with it in any other way except sending a friend request to the poster, who isn't a friend. The only reason it appears in my feed is because one of my friends interacted with it in some way.

I realize this is because the person who posted it locked down all interaction with their posts, but in that case I really don't need to see it, do I?

I consider this a bug, but clearly Facebook does not.

Your fundamental misunderstanding is about the nature of BookFace.

You're not the customer. What you want, what's best for you, is nearly irrelevant.

You're the product. Their design decisions are all about their ability to collect data and sell it, plus advertising space.

<grumpy old man> Use a mailing list, not FB, if you want to have something resembling a reasonable conversation.< /grumpy old man >

I know that.

You misunderstand the purpose of my post.
