Facebook morphs into a clickhole, at the expense of personal sharing

I was totally primed to read that article on The Information. I’ve hit their paywall a couple of times recently, and I’m a fan of just plain paying for stuff, so I thought I’d give a subscription a try for a mere… $1 a day GOD DAMMIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Anyway.

While Facebook is more than welcome to go suck a fuck in my view, I’m not convinced that the bulk of their users will have any problem with it becoming “Buzzfeed with messages”. They might well be a Wal-Mart instead of a Nieman Marcus, but Wal-Mart still gets a lot of people in the door.
