Even more annoying is the same thing that they do with email notifications. They seem to keep inventing new "categories" of notifications all the time that I haven't yet opted out of - basically because I seem to be only able to opt out of just that specific category that they just sent me an email about, when I click on the "don't want to receive any more of these mails" link below the message.
And every time, they gladly acknowledge that I will not receive any more messages of that kind.
"Okay, you won't get any more mails about new messages from friends.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about stuff your friends liked.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about stuff some other random people liked.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about new stuff posted in groups you joined.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about new stuff posted in groups you did not join, but we think you might be interested in.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about new photos posted by your friends.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about new photos of cats posted on Facebook.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about news articles with dogs in the title.
Okay, you won't get any more mails about postings your friends liked that complain about the weather and were written by women of age 35-40."
Okay, admittedly the last three were exagerrated, but all the categories before have been actual "notification categories" that I successfully opted out of, before I put a generic Facebook email filter in my mailbox, because apparently nothing else is able to stop their overly-specific-category-generation-engine from spewing out new categories to keep me busy opting out of.
