Facebook Fatigue
 |
Like certain family members who like to take these little tests and see these little slide shows so that the so-called 'vendor' of the social media outlet can glean information and install various other hooks into the lives of those who aren't sophisticated enough to realize what's happening.
I was gratified to see a decline in some of the utilization of various outlets and I live for the day when the eyes of those on social media are opened such that they realize the full spectrum of meddling in their lives in the form of manipulation via algorithm.
The metrics show a decline in facebook use which is somwhat alarming to their stockholders. Data indicates that it's main interface lost some 18% in time spent which equates to 25% less in user time.
The algorithm imposed by the zuckheads seems to be tiring out their customers who likely would like to deal in real news and not the cooked reality such as that they shovel like the pile of horse manure that they are.
The aggregated consumption went up along with the user base which rose more indicating that the time per person went down some 9% or so.
Instagram shows similar losses in utilzation. Perhaps the social awareness increases in the social media crowd.
