Should OATP create a Facebook feed?

Summary:

"The Open Access Tracking Project (OATP) publishes a daily feed of news about open access (OA). The feed is available in eight file formats to suit people with different needs or preferences: Atom, Email, Google+, HTML, JSON, Pushbullet, RSS, and Twitter.

https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/OATP_feeds#Versions_of_the_primary_project_feed But OATP doesn't have a Facebook feed. This is deliberate. I think Facebook deceives and exploits its users. I don't want to encourage its use. On the other hand, I want OATP to reach everyone who cares about OA. It might miss a lot of OA people by refusing to create a Facebook feed....

Should OATP create a Facebook feed? Would any of you subscribe? Would any of you prefer it to the formats we already offer? ...."
