#2If that quote at the end is accurate, that would be a very disappointing culture to be apart of.

#3Facebook stopped innovating 4 years ago, it's become boring. I only use the Messenger app now.

#4Of course, because money is the only criteria that is important to any business. There couldn't possibly be anything else, like a sense of mission or purpose, that could inform decisions.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest, folks.

#7Zuck is brilliant at many things. But when someone says he's great at product, I raise an eyebrow. Seems to me they A/B tested their way to the top. FB today reminds me of Google 5 years ago. Their 41-shades-of-blue-testing days.
But Google learned to listen to more right-brain arguments so maybe FB can too.

Hard to have a sense of mission or purpose when your company goes out of business and you can't pay the bills.

#9It baffles me that businesses such as Facebook seem to be driven so heavily by the numbers. If I were the FB product manager given the choice between a News Feed that is pleasant to use, or one that at times feels actively user-hostile but provides better metrics, I would want to have the freedom to pick user happiness over the bottom line, in no small part because I would (I assume) be one of those users.
I can't help but feel that something has gone wrong when Facebook - or any company - will deliver its users a worse product for the sake of few more dollars.

#10Making something easier to glance at doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I think a better design for something like Facebook is something that's more engaging. This isn't search.
