I don't think Facebook is looking to optimize for those sorts of articles being shared on people's news feeds. It's far less likely that "short article with niche piece of information on specific case" will garner as much interest without context on a news feed (since relatively few people will care when taken from the general population) than "long article that gives an in-depth analysis on something interesting".
If it were Google going with this philosophy, I think I'd agree with you, though.
- thegeomaster 12y agoYeah, it wouldn't make much sense for Google to do that. When I'm searching for something specific I tend to scan each search result, open the promising ones in new tabs, and immediately just close the ones that don't have what I'm looking for. But that doesn't mean they're not useful in their own right, just that I didn't find what I was looking for there.
