No, the problem is that the product they produce is _specifically designed_ to be used in this manner because conflict and argument increases "engagement" and for a large portion of the employee base their bonus depends on performing work that leads to this outcome.
Not at all what I was aiming at. The problem people have with FB isn't how they produce the product, but who uses it.
