Yeah I was listening to an audio book yesterday about how people said they didn't like Facebook Newsfeed, just like how Netflix users say they want to save movies to watch for later. But people don't ever go back to watch their saved Netflix movies because they would rather binge more entertaining stuff, just like people did use Facebook more after we added Newsfeed.
