Case in point is that consumers are more than happy to be given custom-tailored feeds that filter content they agree with (or that the provider's algorithm THINKS they agree with).
If this was not true, Vero would have taken off instead of falling flat.
Social media is pretty much broken at this point. The idea was to increase reach and communication. Instead we've got people grouped into thought bubbles and echo chambers. I'd argue that Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are causing more harm to society at this point than any potential benefit they provide.
- orev 8y agoNever heard of Vero. It’s a mistake to think that sites/apps find success by having better features. Especially in social media, the network effect is the only thing that determines who lives and dies.
- kebman 8y agoConsider this: There are other apps that you haven't heard of, with communities completely secluded from the Fb/twit/goog environment, and nobody's complaining that they are bubbleified.
