Facebook is weaker than we knew

NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - One possible way to read The Facebook Files, The Wall Street Journal's excellent series of reports based on leaked internal Facebook research, is as a story about an unstoppable juggernaut bulldozing society on its way to the bank. The series has exposed damning evidence that Facebook has a two-tier justice system, that it knew Instagram was worsening body-image issues among girls and that it had a bigger vaccine misinformation problem than it let on, among other issues. And it would be easy enough to come away thinking that Facebook is terrifyingly powerful, and can be brought to heel only with aggressive government intervention. But there is another way to read the series, and it is the interpretation that has reverberated louder inside my brain as each new instalment has landed. Which is: Facebook is in trouble. Not financial trouble, or legal trouble, or even senators-yelling-at-chief-executive-Mark-Zuckerberg trouble. What I am talking about is a kind of slow, steady decline that anyone who has ever seen a dying company up close can recognise. It is a cloud of existential dread that hangs over an organisation whose best days are behind it, influencing ever...

NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - Facebook is setting up a programme to pay US$1 billion (S$1.35 billion) to creators through the end of 2022, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive officer, said on Wednesday (July 14), part of an effort to woo influencers onto its platforms. The US$1 billion will be allocated among creators of all types, giving influencers an incentive for creating and posting original content to Facebook, the social network said. Influencers will be able to earn money by using specific Facebook and Instagram features or by hitting certain milestones. If creators livestream on a regular basis, for instance, they can earn cash. In the past year, an arms race has emerged among tech companies seeking to court online content creators who can generate enormous engagement and bring their young fans and cultural relevance to a platform. TikTok and YouTube have cultivated deep relationships in the creator community by helping creators make money and by building features to serve their needs. Under Facebook's new programme, which is invitation-only for now, eligible creators will see alerts encouraging them to join the effort when they open the app. Facebook said it planned to cre...

And while content was king when it came to subscriber acquisitions, as a market matures it exhibits an unmistakeable preference for local content, as seen across the likes of China, India, Russia and France. "The OTT video industry is ultimately about content and the ability to create hit content is not equal," added Ball. Another key point was the fact that aggregation was already here with services such as Apple and Amazon TV.This aggregation has led to a change in the way platforms operat...
