> One of Facebook's priorities is keeping its users engaged and happy

Engaged, yes. Happy, bullshit. Facebook ignores its users and abuses them far more regularly than most other companies. Anecdotally, everyone I know hates facebook and wants an alternative that has active users. By numbers, Facebook was the last in brand satisfaction for its market in 2011[1], although ACSI appears to have died since then. I strongly suspect the reason facebook restricted notifications was because they weren't making enough money to offset e.g. disabling of notifications.
