For example: I was invited to an event this week, and to participate, I need to RSVP on the Facebook event... I could ask how to get around that, but I'm actually not that interested. The point is, the process has put a roadblock in my participation.

But to be honest, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Think of it as a useful filter. If the event isn't important enough to actually invite you in person, it probably isn't worth bothering with.

In this case, I was invited in person, but the event is part of a larger process and they wanted accurate accounting because attendance included free beer :-)
