TikTok and the Fall of the Social-Media Giants
&quot;This explains Facebook’s recent transition toward short videos and algorithmic recommendations of content that doesn’t come from friend groups.&quot;<p>I agree with the authors perspective that if Facebook and Twitter try and capture the TikTok market they will only in the end up hurting themselves.  In fact the reason I don&#x27;t use Facebook  much anymore is because of the changes they have made...<p>When I login I may see a funny video of a guy falling in Texas (Who I don&#x27;t know) or an attractive women in exercise pants doing somethings quasi provocative.<p>I am not coming to Facebook for national news, for TV 3.0 like entertainment... I am coming to check in with friends, family see some pictures of relatives and see what people have to say about what is happening in their life.<p>The further they move away from this model.... IMO could lead to further decline in the platform.<p>My two cents.
