How Facebook is ruining sharing

This poses an interesting question for those of us building apps - would you get more signups to your app eventually if you didn't make people sign up just to view the content? Its theoretically possible that requiring people to authorize your app just to view content will annoy enough people that you'll end up getting lower signups. And of course, the reason for requiring or not requiring authorization is in most cases to get signups.

These authorisations might be acting as a filter. Being an app developer and someone who's read a lot about FB, I'm very wary of authorising anything, whereas someone who's less informed won't give it a second thought.

Basically, these filters are only funnelling people to the website who are more likely to click on ads and fall for scams.

As a developer who wants to integrate a few new open graph verbs, I'm wondering if this behavior can be bypassed? I don't want a registration wall for people to view our content.

Any developers here know if it's possible to bypass?

Thanks?

You would not. Permission dialogs are already transparent to 90% of users. It's the equivalent of social peer pressure dynamics that works here, your app is implicitly endorsed by a friendly person.
