Facebook Is Dumb Too
As people move to the internet and social media to connect with each other, it’s no surprise that Facebook has grown to be the largest and most popular social media platform in the world. But while it can be a great way to share your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences with your friends, family and the world, it is now becoming increasingly evident that Facebook is not as smart as it was once thought to be.
Recent studies have shown that Facebook doesn’t provide the same level of intelligence, insight and interactivity that many users expect from a social media platform. For instance, the algorithm used to decide what is and what isn’t shown in your timeline can be detrimental to the quality of your social media experience. For instance, if you post on Facebook about something you really care about, you may find it hard to be seen by other people, as the algorithm may favor posts from certain sources or topics.
Additionally, Facebook’s newsfeed is dominated by information from large companies and organizations, meaning that individual users’ content can be overlooked. As a result, those looking for deeper conversations or meaningful interactions often find that they have to search much harder or look in different places to find them.
Finally, Facebook is often criticized for its lack of innovation. Although the site continues to add new features, they often focus on making money or improving the lives of those already addicted to the site. This fails to address the needs and wants of its users, who have grown weary of the lack of concern for their experiences and interests.
Overall, it’s clear that Facebook is no longer the intelligent and interactive social media platform that it once promised to be. In its place is a dumbed-down site, where conversations can feel shallow and information is rarely discovered organically. While the site may still be able to offer fun and engaging experiences to some, more often than not, its lack of intelligence results in a rather dull and underwhelming experience for most of its users.
