I had a routine that every time I logged in I would go carefully through all of the privacy settings. I observed that: these were revised on a very regular basis; would always be default no privacy; every revision would reset everything to default.
Facebook would reset the feed to popular from chronological even in the middle of a session. When I read articles claiming facebook is spending billions on developers and highly sophisticated analytics, I'm certain they see that I'm manually resetting my feed to chronological several times during the same session. My experience is that my behavior is indicative of some subset of users.
Facebook would completely not show me posts from friends who rarely posted. Who are they to decide whose posts I want to see? It was often that these posts were more interesting than the food and puppy spam mindlessly upvoted.
I sandboxed facebook into IE because I'm not interested in having them track me everywhere and I never used IE for anything.
Facebook assumes people don't manage relationships independently or in some sort of grouping, e.g. college friends, motorcycle gang, co-workers from last employer, etc. Not everyone actually wants to see all of my posts, and I don't desire to see all of everyone's posts.
As soon as facebook started publicly embracing ideologies (of any sort), I knew it was time to leave completely and I log in maybe once every few years to grab a phone number, although I find LinkedIn is actually better for that, so it's really been a long time since I last logged in. An organization pretending to be a place for fostering relationships cannot also support ideologies.
Facebook doesn't respect the user.
