RE: Why Nobody Can Trust Facebook
Thank you for pointing out the corruption that takes place.
The online advertising world is basically a duolopoly with Google and Facebook splitting up the pie. Google supposedly is an opportunity for small sites to make a bit of extra money. Sadly, AdSense pays so little that thousands of clicks will barely covering hosting charges.
Steemit is exciting because it isnt more of the corporatism that is robbing people. Of course, should we be surprised that FB is robbing advertisers? It takes people's content without giving them anything in return.
Agreed. Facebook's users create the content, and in return, they are fed to advertisers with no return on the investment of their time. Meanwhile, their facebook pages are being filled with drivel. They are paying in internet fees to be brainwashed.
Thank you for the comment @katyclark.
Tell us how you really think about FB.
Actually, you nailed it. That is exactly what Zuckerberg does. You give him the content to make money from which, he in turn, uses to make more money from advertisers. It is a nice repetitive cycle he has there, one which he just keeps profiting from.
I gave you a follow...good stuff.
Thank you @taskmaster4450 - I have followed you also. And you might like this post, too. I think that facebook might be in trouble over the election antics of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. No matter which side a person is on, Republican or Democrat, rules are there to be followed, not broken at will. Anyway, this has a piece about facebook that I found interesting http://video.gq.com/watch/the-closer-with-keith-olbermann-trump-russia-and-the-facebook-factor?mbid=social_facebook_ko
Facebook certainly is getting a black eye these days.
I think more threatening to them is the fact that they lied to their advertisers about the number of people they have. This is a serious breach which can hit their bottom line in a huge way. Couple that with the election/fake news hoopla, and we might start to see them impacted. While I dont think FB will go away anytime soon, it could be a radical difference going forward.
