Wrong usage of useEffect in custom hook docs

The Building Your Own Hooks page suggests invoking the useEffect hook without passing in an empty dependency array

function useFriendStatus(friendID) {
  const [isOnline, setIsOnline] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    function handleStatusChange(status) {
      setIsOnline(status.isOnline);
    }

    ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(friendID, handleStatusChange);
    return () => {
      ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(friendID, handleStatusChange);
    };
  });

  return isOnline;
}

As there is no dependency array passed to useEffect, this would cause multiple multiple un/subscribe API calls. Shouldn't the example snippet have an empty dependency array?

Start by reviewing the linked Building Your Own Hooks page and the useEffect example shown in the issue. Confirm the dependency-array guidance against the documented hook behavior, then update the example if needed so its subscription lifecycle is correct and the page no longer suggests repeated subscriptions.
