I think we see a lot of engineering mindset here: how do we scale this up (aka fewest humans) even if it sometimes sucks.

The cost they don't see is losing trust means they are running 90% on network effects. Many people are dying to jump ship.

FB's current logic is that if people haven't jumped ship already, they won't. That's not true but it is understandable.

Myspace is still around. Question is when FB will become irrelevant. I give it 10 years.
