Any app that requires me to link my Facebook, Gmail, LinkedIn, Twitter etc account is instantly deleted.
For Facebook because I don't have one and I yet have to meet the app that would make me consider creating one (and edit my hosts to stop blocking all known Facebook domains)
If it requires me to create a username an password where the username is an email address, I decide per app if it makes sense. That means if I have to sign up before I can determine if it makes sense, it's insta-delete as well.
If your service is insanely great or if you are Elon Musk I will likely be more forgiving (but will still not create an FB account).
