Thanks for the link. Never heard of Garden-path sentence before. I had the exact same experience.

#6Nobody hates Facebook users more than Facebook, I guess. :-/
I've tried to type out several pithy comments, but the bottom line (to me) is that Facebook just doesn't respect its users or care about their needs.
Can you imagine if brick-and-mortar businesses tried to do this? You go out for a Big Mac, but it's not on the menu anymore because Taco Bell had a few really good quarters, so McDonald's decided to pivot to tacos. Maybe you can still order the Big Mac if you know to ask for it, but most people won't, and they'll leave disappointed instead of getting what they wanted.
Edit: To clarify, this example is contrived and the details are not the point. The point is that Facebook offered something to their users, spent years and billions of dollars making sure that as many people as possible got it from Facebook, and then decided to just yank the rug out from under all those people to chase the fairy tale of endless growth.

Yeah, apple went from selling personal computers to iPods, phones and headphones, where they make most of the money....
Would you have said the same for Apple back in 2007?
Ps. Restaurants change menus all the time.

It’s not that easy. This is life and death for Facebook. TikTok is really taking over and is a force. It’s also a Chinese company and so they can’t buy it. They are forced to compete, either they do this or become fully irrelevant

Had this same thought a few weeks ago too. Nothing short of contempt.

McDonald’s does remove menu items that a vocal minority of customers happen to enjoy. They freak out, everybody else shrugs, and the world moves on.
Also TikTok is dope and I only go to Facebook to see ads for clothes and other stuff I might want to buy.
