I thought Facebook was the seedy version of Facebook. Or has everyone already forgotten about Facebook apps, shitty viral games, the ever-shifting Facebook platform, fake likes, bogus ad impressions and all of the other shady shit?

What you're describing is Facebook's seedyness. Your parent poster I think was describing potential user seedyness, which is currently mostly absent, or monitored against.

Those at least are a problem with your friendlist. Handle facebook like mail and block spammers and you don't get any of that.
