Facebook isn't an editor, though, it's a curator. You use them interchangably but I think there's a crucial difference. An editor modifies to inject their own standards into the work. A curator just includes or disincludes as-is.
- jacobush 7y agoCurating on a fine grained enough level, you are not only an editor but even a story teller. You can make a narrative only quoting other people and it has been done many times in books and movies. That this story is driven only by an advanced self-adjusting Skinner box to maximize advertiser revenue, is very weird. You never expect sci-fi to be so mundane when it becomes reality, but it always is.
