I interviewed Derek Muller of Veritasium (Facebook Fraud Video) on 4/8 on behalf of the #PagesFightBack campaign...the quote below is part of what he had to say: Read the entire piece here: rockn.ro/76u My sense with what’s happening at Facebook is that they’re claiming that people are posting a lot more stuff and that’s why your message has a tough time getting through, but people are posting more because of how difficult it is to get through, so there’s kind of a “chicken and egg” problem. Whereby Facebook kind of instigated this by really throttling the reach of pages and posts, and pages have responded by posting more posts out there to try and get one through, that kind of thing. So, it really is a real chicken and egg issue, and I don’t think it results in greater quality, it just results in greater quantity. I think Facebook’s trying to artificially create this dilemma of too many things in the feed so that they can intentionally create a problem, so they then can say, “If you want to get that reach, you can pay us for it.” So they’re manufacturing the problem because they can charge for the solution. - Derek Muller
