Almost as if the user is the product instead of the app. The app is doing everything in the background to monetize the user

I don't disagree with the sentiment - but I still think the app is poorly tuned if it's been allowed to accrue this much complexity in the relatively non-essential UX that we all interact with through the web. My point is that the complexity of FB's landing page is unmaintainable and misaligned with business goals - if we view those goals to be about data collection and not actually running a social network then the misalignment is actually worse.
