Open Threat to the World's All Media Organizations: Facebook!
Facebook's new news streaming algorithm has caused a very difficult week for media outlets in six countries around the world. Experts say this is an important warning for the entire world media.
Media organizations in Slovakia, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Bolivia, Guatemala and Cambodia were overwhelmed by Facebook's new news flow algorithm. The social media giant brought Resource Discovery feature on Thursday. However, it was understood that this feature did not give very good results in terms of news sites.
Apart from the standard news source, it was said that the new features of Facebook are more important than news, except for the posts, likes, comments and shares that appear on the main page. The main reason for the decrease in the traffic of news sites in the country is that news and news from your friends can now be seen on two separate screens.
The number of visits on some internet sites fell by 75% after the new system:
There are a few reasons for the social media division to separate resources. Firstly, it is more effective to advertise on the page you are looking at only those sent from your friends. Secondly, there are allegations that the news has been spreading over the last few months, and it's in big trouble.
Then journalists from different countries on Twitter continued to share similar data, and for the time being in six countries this is a warning for media organizations around the world.
On the other hand, the Explore Source feature did something else that the former News Source could not: Present content from pages you do not follow but that you may be interested in. Initially it may appear as an innocent offer, but that's not the case. Facebook develops new formulas to sell more and more expensive advertising space and proves to be the world's largest advertiser.
