adamklevy I agree. I think people want to read news, but yeah I'm just not sure they express that desire in a way an algorithm understands. I think no amount of machine learning can isolate these trends meaningfully, b/c it's all about the user moving between modes & t/f services & sitesPermalink On twitter.com

adamklevy Facebook won't understand that desire now or ever because its audience does not now, or intended to, come to it for the purpose of satisfying that desire. So many of the signals t/f exist outside their reach. News on FB was accidental, so it was never optimized for it.Permalink On twitter.com

Facebook users didn't join with the intent for Facebook to be a newsreader. It wasn't originally designed with that intent either so...Permalink On twitter.com

adamklevy The more accurate version of my statement would be: the average *Facebook* user wants to be in their bubble. Because that's the nature of the platform and what most arrivals have entered into an unspoken contract to receive.Permalink On twitter.com

adamklevy I didn't intend to imply that the same user would want the same thing in every part of their life, though the accidental nature of Facebook's dominance and their impact on data tracking and ads has increasingly created that effect outside of the platform.On twitter.com
