It's not clear, did FB steal that formula from traditional media, or was it the other way around? Or was the discovery of the value of extreme simultaneous? Traditional media loves hyperbole, half-truths, etc. Whatever it takes to drive revenue. FB and its ilk are not benevolent public services. They maximizes engagement and in turn drives ad revenue. Full stop. Let's not be naive. There should be no surprises about their biz model and drive. That's not giving Big Tech a free pass. But we all know - or should - these services are not our friend. They have a purpose and that's to maximize shareholder value. And of course, Jeff would prefer the dirty spotlight to be on Mark. So let's not ignore the source either. The pandemic has served Jeff well. Let's not talk about that.
