(I'm mostly talking about Facebook here) You know what social media success is also driven by? Contact scraping, buying up your competition, stripping away all control from the users (why yes, engagement does go up when you make the product as addictive as possible and you stop allowing people to read their messages or do pretty much anything by email) - I'm not sure regulation is always the answer, but this shit is basically criminal and shame on them for 'growth hacking' their way to the top (and screwing everyone else in the process)
- MonaroVXR 5y agoNowadays, Facebook is actually groups of people. Whatever group may be. It's toxic and I'm talking about IT, Anime, cars, food or whatever. But at the end of the day, it's people.
