@aral I don't get it. Are you saying good UX should be a goal in itself - and not a tool/means to attain outcomes? UX vs Entertainment?

@MagnusRevang No, I mean Facebook’s app is a tool for you to provide Facebook with raw materials: information about you and your friends. -
@aral yes, Facebook is a business, not a Non-profit org, they have to create UX that maximizes the outcomes that benefit them -
@MagnusRevang Facebook is a *very specific type of business*: one that sells people as products; a business model toxic to human rights. -
@aral That is for people to decide for themselves. You could argue that the social network we're using now is the same, only less successful -
@MagnusRevang Until we have a 100 channels, all with the same business model. At which point, do we really have a choice? -
@aral We won't - on the Internet with unlimited choice it seems we gravitate towards size and unintentionally create "monopolies" -
@MagnusRevang Not unintentional, it’s called venture capital / the Silicon Valley model. Monopolies are the goal, not a side effect. - 1 more reply

@aral Not sure we should compare FB to Kobe beef. Beef is something you can choose to enjoy, FB you sometimes get force-fedThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
