Obviously no choice of how to represent them will perfectly reproduce what Zuckerberg or his staff would have seen, but I kinda think rendering things as DMs when they were not originally DMs is more misleading than most options.

"They don't want to see what their friends post — they want to be entertained."

I know hindsight is 20-20, but, given how much data Mark et al had at their disposal by 2021, its crazy to me they didnt realise people much prefer being entertained that that keeps them consuming content longer - than just simply observing whats going on with the people they know.

FB Employee to Zuck: Instagram is eating our lunch. Their mobile photos experience is significantly better than ours and our users know it. We're losing the photo-sharing battle on mobile.

We know what ended up happening. ;)

I really don't think it's fair to characterize someone that way.

>>I've decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster. We typically manage out people who aren't meeting expectations over the course of a year, but now we're going to do more extensive performance-based cuts during this cycle. This is going to be an intense year.

Ah, never mind.
