Sunset of the social network

Scott Rosenberg
  • That's how TikTok sorts the videos it shows users, and that's largely how Facebook will now organize its home screen.
  • The dominant player in social media is transforming itself into a kind of digital mass media, in which the reactions of hordes of anonymous users, processed by machine learning, drive the selection of your content.
  • .........
  • Meta owns a big chunk of that market, too, thanks to Facebook Messenger and its ownership of WhatsApp.
  • At the other end of the media spectrum, the "discovery engines" run by TikTok and Meta will duke it out with streaming services to capture billions of eyeballs around the globe and sell that attention to advertisers.

All this leaves a vacuum in the middle — the space of forums, ad-hoc group formation and small communities that first drove excitement around internet adoption in the pre-Facebook era.

  • Facebook's sunseting of its own social network could open a new space for innovation on this turf, where relative newcomers like Discord are already beginning to thrive.

Updated information: October 15, 2021


Mark Zuckerberg's stranglehold on Facebook could put the company at risk.  With 55% of the company's voting shares, Zuckerberg has majority power over the company — and experts are saying he's "the most powerful person who's ever walked the face of the earth." They explain why that's problematic.

Google in recent years committed a combined $600 million to support news outlets globally - many of them local or regional enterprises foundering in a digital age.

Thousands of media outlets received financial and other support for everything from fact checking and reporting to training, according to the tech giants' announcements. Some publishers express gratitude for contributions they say are essential as advertising revenue has plunged.

But several media analysts and news business executives told Reuters that the funding - set to last three years - does not nearly compensate for the tens of billions of dollars publishers lost as the tech companies gobbled up the digital advertising market. Google and Facebook ( FB )

accounted for 54% of U.S. digital advertising revenue in 2020, according to eMarketer, a market research company.

Some critics dismissed the projects, including contributions of $300 million from each company, as a way to blunt complaints from publishers and generate good PR. Both tech companies face battles over compensation for news content worldwide, as well as antitrust lawsuits from regulators and publishers.
