>I heard they hired some prominent psychologist to make it more addictive.

This is basically what the argument to ban it amounts to whenever this discussion comes up.

Facebook is a simple site, there's nothing to it really. It's just an endless mediocre content website that happens to have your friends on it.

Good user experience = "designed to be addictive by army of ill-wishing psychologists."

The only reason id like to see it banned just so something better can finally take it's place
