Facebook needs a second page that isnt the newsfeed or trending. That isnt "give the people what they want" as much as "this is good for you." It needs strong editorial discretion. It could still be algorithmic, just one that prefers a certain type of voter. If I look at the sites below, its obvious that a focused team of more like minded people can output something MUCH more coherent than the "everybody gets what everybody wants" style newsfeed. https://redef.com/charts/shared/total https://redef.com/charts/shared/total https://www.aldaily.com/ https://www.aldaily.com/ http://www.drudgereport.com/ http://www.drudgereport.com/ https://www.techmeme.com/river https://www.techmeme.com/river Facebook needs a "Front Page" that you can toggle to that isnt the Custom Newsfeed. It should be the same for everyone, it should be important stuff, it should be beneficial to society. Maybe teams of people should be allowed to compete with it. I have said it before, they should combine Groups and Interest Lists. Groups should be able to subscribe to sources, have their own ingestion queue, and teams of voters should be able to determine what shows up in the group page feed. (people might wonder why I single out drudge as a good example. It is a water cooler. It is the same for every viewer on the planet. It gets people TALKING about the same things, it creates dialog within the community. Sure its also a filter bubble, I understand the dissonance.)
