Facebook is bringing new changes to news feed για να μπορείτε να βλέπετε περισσότερο τους φίλους σας, παρά το ενημερωτικό περιεχόμενο που τελευταία καταλάμβανε μεγάλο μέρος του timeline σας.
As it seems, the largest social network prioritizes your friends, family and groups, "pulling" back the news from the various media that flood the service.
In a publication, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that the percentage of videos and public content (business and publisher posts) has risen sharply over the past two years, so that user feeds are catching up.
Continuing, he stated that in the coming weeks and months the phenomenon will decrease, as the team of its products companys working to refresh what feeds show each time you visit Facebook.
Zuckerberg, of course, said what every social network user wants to "hear".
His thought is revolutionary, but Facebook is a public company listed on the stock market. So Zuckerberg should have found a way to have satisfied customers (users and advertisers) but also happy shareholders and future investors.
To state the obvious: Facebook makes money from ads, and by charging publishers it gives them the privilege of displaying their content in its most prominent places. σελίδαof each user.
So according to Zuckerberg, if the system changes, the damage it will cause will be enormous in Facebook's revenue.
But none of us believe that the CEO of the company would do anything to harm it. The specific movement μάλλον έρχεται σε ένα κομβικό σημείο για την πορεία του Facebook, αφού στις τελευταίες προεδρικές εκλογές των ΗΠΑ έπαιξε σημαντικό ρόλο στη διευκόλυνση της διάδοσης ψεύτικων ειδήσεων, ή της διάδοσης περιεχομένου και διαφημίσεων που χρηματοδοτούνταν από Ρώσους πράκτορες.
The social network currently has about two billion users, something that can not be ignored by any CEO or any other investor. A very optimistic and utopian case is that the social network suddenly decided to be more interested in relations between its users and less on its financial revenues.
But since I do not see any obvious motivation to do all this outside of Zuckerberg's conscience, I have to assume that this particular statement seems very good to be true. The social network could remove news content from users' news feeds, but also charge other companies that they believe is trustworthy. In this way ads will decrease and revenue will continue to flow.
It could also eliminate pages that do not have a badge for ads, and of course it could take advantage of the data that collects from service users.
What we can do is simply wait and see what happens. But the sure thing is that the CEO of the social network would not announce anything that would harm the company.
