Ads aren't the problem with facebook. It's the crappy UI that makes most posts and comment threads unreadable and videos unwatchable. Remember when clicking close or maximize on a video would actually close or maximize a video?

I will never understand how a website/app with such a user-hostile interface can continue to thrive.

When they introduced ads (2012 I think), they also removed the ability see a feed that was a direct reflection of your social graph.

They also jumbled the feed so you can never return to the last thing you were looking at, unless you explicitly "Like" it and then fish through your Activity history.

If I had any assureance they would revert to the pre-2012 UI/UX I'd be tempted by this offer, but I'm not in the EU so it doesn't matter to me.

It's quite simple. You are not the customer; you are the product. The UI/UX for marketers is quite polished. The UI/UX for the users is as twisted as it needs to be to keep you around. It's like giving your dog one of those bowls that forces them to eat slower.

My problem with Facebook is that everyone has stopped posting. Only 2 of my ~100 friends posts regularly anymore. This leads Facebook to polluting my News Feed with very very low quality “suggested posts”. It’s awful content.
