This has been true for this post, but there have been many "view this on facebook" posts that do block you with a signup.

Twitter seems to do this too (frequently I'm prompted to log in.)

Bah, I want my ye olde internet back.

Yeah, but I won't read it if it's on facebook. And I'm like reeeeaaallly important to this company.

...

In all seriousness, I know my opinion matters very little, but I just don't visit facebook for reasons.

It hasn't been explicitly stated yet, and may not be apparent to everyone, but it's blocked in some networks. It's not just a case of "I despise Facebook so much I refuse to visit it."

That's a very valid point. Hadn't considered that.
