It's not a question of "doing their homework". That's the naive cop-out. The inflation of metrics and numbers is company-wide, and I am pretty certain most - if not all of it - is deliberate. Especially after 'Zuck' took the Company Public.
- elgenie 10y agoThe NY Post are the ones that didn't do their homework. Their source for this article is FB trying for transparency. If you have proof of inflating metrics and numbers, especially deliberately, you're welcome to post some. Posting detailed reports of errors discovered during an internal audit when under no obligation to do so, on the other hand, is not in keeping with your conspiracy theory.
- sean_patel 10y agoIt's not a 'conspiracy theory'. See my other comment. I worked at the Ad Team for a few months. Saw it from the inside.
- forgetsusername 10y ago>Posting detailed reports of errors discovered during an internal audit when under no obligation to do so You dont think a public company is obligated to audit internal controls and keep shareholders and regulators in the loop?
- elgenie 10y agoA public company is obligated to report quarterly, in a prescribed format, a bunch of high-level information material to the business by Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X. A public company is not obligated to rush out details like "We’ve determined that the average time spent per article had been over-reported by 7-8% on average since August of last year. This was caused by a calculation error: we were calculating the average across a histogram of time spent, instead of reflecting the total time spent reading an article divided by its total views."
