milk_manIf the media is the best it's ever been then why is Facebook changing news feed to include less of it?
.MASSHOLE.You can't be serious with this line of thought, can you?
Facebook is a social media site, their whole business model is built off of user-engagement.
It's clear that their research has shown that there is less user-engagement when there are pages or people that post something that falls outside of a user's algorithmically-determined commenting habits.
It has nothing to do with the MSM or news. It's entirely irrelevant to the matter. In fact, if you actually had read the PR you'd have noticed it said businesses, brands, and media, not just media.
FB tried to adopt some of the popular aspects of Twitter, namely posts from pages people like/care about, and it backfired. Now they're returning to a more original model that focuses on personal friends and family in an attempt to increase levels of user-engagement.

milk_manFunny you mention business model because they did this for the good of their users, not their profits. Their stock dropped like 4% when they announced it. Just google it lol

CaseyBecause Trump voters can't tell the difference between real news and Russian bots.
Thomasarivkin1Sarah Huckabee-
Donald Trump is obviously not racist there Hasn’t been a single man who has done more to prove that white people are not superior.
Hahhahhahahah FUCK TRUMP
milk_manFacebook couldn't either apparently, as they sold them ad placements
K-Dot.What? Another thread where milk man goes full potato?
The media is the best it's ever been. Whether that be social media, news media, whatever, the dissemination of knowledge and factual information is the best it has ever been. It's miraculous how much the internet has already shifted power away from arbiters of ideology.
Post modernism sucks? Not jailing gay people sucks? Women voting sucks? Labotomies no longer being performed sucks? Laws preventing segregation and discrimination suck?
Sheesh. Being ignorant to history doesn't have to be political but it's becoming increasingly hard not to see a pattern
theabortionatorAnother trump year on the clock, twitter posts gets hits, trump make OP sick. And I think it's fly when trump IQ drops some wonders, drops some wonders. I like girls that aren't a giant political bitch, I'd take her if she didn't eat fish, but shes been strange since obummer, since obummer.
CaseyI don't think they cared. They got paid the same either way.
