    Practically the entire news industry rushed to destroy its reporting infrastructure over the “pivot to video” that Facebook said was necessary. Reporters were replaced with videographers. This is a story to follow.https://twitter.com/GaryHarki/status/1052580339628089344 …

    Facebook over-counted its number of video watches, sending desperate newspapers around the country scrambling to create videos no one watches. https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/1052400225602756608 …

        Wasn't "pivot to video" a thing lang before Facebook started their video initiative?

        Let’s call it second wave pivot to video. It’s almost as if we didn’t learn the first time.

        assume Facebook, led by Zuckerberg and Sandberg, is lying.

        Who can trust it? The same can happen to Instagram video, stories and IGTV.

        Facebook’s lie was gasoline on the fire. It’s an ADD world of folks with no patience (or the desire) to read. Comprehension has fled the flock. It’s time for a new platform.

        I always wondered who was watching all the videos -- I didn't want to use data and make noise. I wanted articles.

        Same. On most basic news articles I can read faster than it would take to load and watch the videos anyway.

        Ever since I had a page I’ve wondered how we can trust the numbers from Facebook. They sell the ads and give the numbers

        "Over-counted" "pivot to video" "no one watches" Hey, Facebook! How about you focus that "Midas Touch" of yours internally for awhile? @karaswisher @MikeIsaac @DelReypic.twitter.com/rb6nqTVT1n
