Facebook and opt-out apps, ridiculous?

Am i the only one who gets really, really annoyed by constantly having to block apps that produce 'person x read an article/watched a video y' posts that get shunted onto my news feed for no damn reason. Why the HELL is it opt out? If i wanted spam from all these 'applications' i would ask for it.

My app ban list is looking absurd.

All it does is make me want to jump ship and quit Facebook.

More moan. There is an ignore button, please feel free to use it

Alternatively, you can stop posting in this thread. Go on, back to the sports forum with you. Shooo, shooooo.

This is an open forum, you whine and moan I am just pointing that out as I am allowed to

We can do a deal, you stay out of SA for good and i'll not post in this thread again

I am deeply honoured that I have angered the psuedo-macho horde, who appear to believe masculinity is defined by how much of a **** you can be. Unfortunately, I do not believe the world works that way and thusly, I am unable to acquiesce to your request, alas.

Can't you ban ALL apps in privacy? I have, and never get these requests.

I did the 'turn off all apps' after you posted this, checked my Facebook just now:

Doesn't make any difference, still get this blooming spam and another 'App' added to my ban list.

edit: My misses just showed me her list, it has 282 blocked apps. 282!!!
