Crowd Siren Agency is accusing Facebook of inflating its average time spent watching videos statistics. According to the agency, in years 2015-2016 FB has premeditely deceived its business partners by modifying their aforementioned statistics so that they are even 900% larger than they were supposed to. This in turn has created an artificial deflux of video content from YT and other platforms to Facebook, with content creators counting on FB’s â€magic†to garner them a large number of views. The whole fraud has supposedly begun with a glitch that FB found out back in 2015 but did nothing about. Another issue is that 900% statistics’ inflation; FB stated before that the inflation was â€only†60 to 80%.
Ehh, FB, FB… you done goofed. This year was pretty awful for your image and I am surprised that there is not a major retreat of customers from you. Personally I am glad that I have very little friends on my FB account and use it mostly for work.
