The reverse-chronological social media feed \u2014 the way you\u2019ve read Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs (which is to say, the internet) at various points over the last decade, updates organized according to the time they were posted, refreshed at the top of the screen \u2014 no longer really makes sense. The unfiltered informational cascade that defined the internet of the 2010s is going the way of the front-page-style web portal: It\u2019s an outdated way of processing online information. The way we consume social media is being transformed and tinkered with as Silicon Valley tries to wring as much engagement, attention, and money out of it as possible. The feed is dying, and we feel shocked by its death \u2014 but we shouldn\u2019t.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Chances are, if you get all of your news on Facebook, you only saw this article linked if you like, comment, follow, friend (not just one but all 4 of these) someone or something that talks about new media, journalism or trends in information sharing. If you are not into those sort of things and don\u2019t engage with them, you didn\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the future. Some of us opt into streams that we truly care about. We might be lurkers and never engage with them beyond a click but that\u2019s not good enough anymore. You have to engage with a brand (or person\u2019s) content if you want to continue seeing it. You could have a thousand friends and only see content from 100 of them. Facebook and soon others look at this as a way to simplify your life. Most people don\u2019t have all day to see every Instagram photo from 500 people they follow. It\u2019s only a fine line between being what\u2019s best for the user and what\u2019s best for the advertiser. Soon, the topics that have the highest CPM will be the topics you\u2019re shown and therefore will turn into what ads you see next to that content.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really sad what\u2019s happening in the media land. Just because I don\u2019t interact with my sister on Facebook, doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t want to see what she\u2019s doing. Today, RSS has no algorithm. I love RSS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via NYMag: The feed is dying.
