Social media growth is all about recommendations and algorithms, people actually curating their network a la 2010 facebook is dead, so your idea of "how to use social media" is also aligned with completely not knowing how to make a growing social media platform where almost >99% of users are consumers and automatically are recommended things and curate their experience implicitly. People do not want to manually do anything for the most part.
- sidfthec 4y agoThe general issue of forcing recommendations and the general population not doing anything manually anymore is separate from the fact that as an individual you have lots of tools to curate your feeds on twitter/facebook/etc. It's also just really silly to have conversations like: "I can't stand seeing Elon on my feed!" "Have you blocked him?" "No"
- bfeynman 4y agoYou're missing the point, recommender algorithms are supposed to show people what they want. Even if what you said is true, the experience is absolutely doomed, because its a shitty UX
- sidfthec 4y agoIt's three clicks to block someone. That's bad UX? (three dot menu -> block @whoever -> confirm).
