Before the privacy stuff became a concern, I just didn't like the product. The whole symmetric relationship model just never really hooked me. It's not any particular philosophical hatred. I just never "got it" like others seemed to. I understand it, but it was never the sort of thing that I was constantly refreshing.

It wasn't very useful to me before the whole app platform thing, and after the app platform launched, it quickly became too noisy and cluttered.



Facebook now has asymmetric relationships with subscriptions, and the app platform noisiness has improved a great deal in recent years. I just block apps which are particularly noisy.
