Interesting that a journalist thinks that Facebook is optimized for what "looks good" rather than what drives eyeballs. Facebook is just giving the people what they want. (To say nothing of how self-congratulatory that sentence is)
- Despegar 7y agoThere's nothing self-congratulatory about that sentence at all. Facebook's algorithm used to promote a certain kind of clickbait until they changed it in favor of real news (which killed a bunch of media startups that were optimizing for Newsfeed traffic). Facebook has specifically courted media organizations with Instant Articles or video for Facebook Watch.
