Don't bother bending over backwards to cater to a sophisticated audience when the idiot demographic is what you're going to end up with in the end anyhow. They don't need a bunch of people saying 'Snapchat was alright for a while, now it's overrun with crap ads and shit content so I abandoned the platform.'
I appreciate their honesty, I'll never feel betrayed by them because they designed the UI to be hostile to anyone with discriminating preferences from the getgo. I'm not going to wake up one morning to discover the New York Times has suddenly become the Weekly World News.
- pekk 10y agoAre we really associating Facebook feeds and ads with a "sophisticated audience"?
- CodeSheikh 10y agoWell it can be. I notoriously don't follow most of my friends newsfeed except the ones i see or talk to often. Then I follow pages that are of interest to me. Socioeconomic pages, tech pages, science ad medicine related, sports team I like and Oatmeal :) As far ads are concerned, I use ad block on desktop browsers and Sponsored content can be tweaked to the point by continuous reporting that you will stop getting obnoxious Sponsored storied from Facebook.
