The Wasteland
It’s not just fake news and propaganda
Did you know that Facebook publishes a quarterly report about the most widely viewed content?
The most popular post in Q3 2021, with 94.3 million views, is a text card asking “Who can honestly say they never had a DUI? I’ll wait.”
More than reading the report itself, I recommend Charlie Warzel’s analysis, as he tries to figure out some strategies that might work for a platform that wants to empower its members to create good-quality content, instead of pursuing algorithmic incentives that tend to push content toward the lowest common.
Apparently, something that Medium wants to achieve.
Will the recent changes such as the conditions to be in the Medium Partner Program and the initiatives such as the Medium Writers Challenge be effective?
