    > The UX of Facebook is a huge mess, a never-ending, non-chronological scroll of dopamine slot machines.

This is not really relevant to the discussion of the content of the post: "do what others are doing, do what your users are already used to doing"

Whether Facebook's content is good or bad is not really relevant; the UX of FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, and almost every other social media app is remarkably similar in layout and function.

Yes, but not because of a self-proclaimed "law". The UX is similar across FB, Twitter and LinkedIN, because they all sell ads, and what you can charge for ads is reliant on how much time people are spending on the platform.

Laws in these cases are never self proclaimed; they are simply made from observations. This is not a law in a legal term; it's a law because through observation, there is a universal truth to it.
