“We will predict which posts you might want to interact with your friends about, and show these posts higher in feed.” Interact=comment, react, share. 1-Testament to FB algorithm’s power. 2-“Predict”=inevitable feedback loop. 3-Why would interaction bring ppl together?

I have a piece coming out *soon* in
@WIRED about speech in the 21st century—basically arguing that what Facebook/Youtube controls is attention and prioritization, not speech. It is basically my pre-take on all these changes (wrote it last Fall!)Show this thread -
Attention and prioritization of information and interaction—probably most everything else in life as well—are the true bottlenecks and indicators of importance and values. The day is 24 hours for everyone, and that seemingly simple statement, to me, is one of the deepest truths!

And much of what we are discussing about what's going on in platforms comes down to just that: the power to prioritize interaction and to direct attention. That's why it is allso important; hard to think of too many things in life more important that that.

That "power" - is it soooo much different to the talk years ago about AOL when it seemed close to own the world? But of course FB's steps may even not be signs of minor cracks as it will be the first empire to rule forever...
