Agreed that we definitely have a lot more work to do. We currently let people change functionality on these websites - such as blocking the newsfeed. I like your suggestion that we should not only hide it, but also replace it. We'll think about that more.

Yup, I've built 2 products that crossed 50M users. One was a browser extension in the years before the iPhone.

I always assume my user is blackout drunk and generally not very thoughtful i.e. they know what they want but they want that shit on a plate with 0 effort.

I definitely agree with you that for a lot of users, we need to make everything as easy as possible.
