Real Value of Facebook – Douglas Rushkoff – Medium
- yesenadam 8y ago"But now that Facebook seems destined for irrelevance, I find myself wondering if there may be a positive use for the platform after all. No, not to make friends or communicate with people — neither of which were ever Facebook’s strong points anyway. The real value we can derive from Facebook comes from interacting directly and purposefully with its dark innards: the algorithms themselves." Well, it has been and continues to be great for me, and millions/billions of others, for both communicating with people around the world, and making friends. What kind of blindness people have to be able to wonder "if there may be a positive use for the platform after all" I don't know.
