I\u2019d like to talk on the subject of the decline in original content. Facebook, about 4 years ago moved to a model that nearly copied Tumblr exactly. The users were encouraged to share media, less posts and the Facebook timeline moved away from status updates to sharing content other people created. Your\u2019e encouraged to share that content and people share the shared content and it bubbles up and the algorithm promotes popular things to the users.<\/p>\n<p>I was using Facebook thinking, \u201cI have no idea what my sister is doing in her life. Where she lives, what she does for work, who her friends are. All I know is that she loves anime, likes 250 different brands and is in a relationship. Everything she shared was memes, hoax news stories, and \u201925 likes = one prayer\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I think Twitter is becoming the same way if you use their website or 1st party apps.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook only has themselves to blame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via The Information: Less than a year ago, leaders at Facebook convened to address a serious problem: people&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-30T23:58:44Z","apple_news_api_id":"f14da34e-deaf-4e80-8355-4a1475cc8c45","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-30T23:58:45Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A8U2jTt6vToCDVUoUdcyMRQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1wu","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5980,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/06\/16\/linked-facebook-deleted-a-transfeminine-rappers-post-about-the-orlando-shooting\/","url_meta":{"origin":5858,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Facebook Deleted a Transfeminine Rapper&#8217;s Post About The Orlando Shooting&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 16, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Gizmodo: Facebook is getting slammed for twice removing transfeminine rapper Michete\u2019s post expressing solidarity with the Orlando massacre victims.
