"By originating that influential content on Facebook itself, the social platform eliminates, by some degree, the need for its users to go searching anywhere else for content," he explained. "I doubt that true influencers will ignore other valuable information sources, however many casual Facebook users may not find it as necessary to venture off into the internet as often if this is done well; it will be interesting to see what the effect of the latter will be."
The move by Facebook, Wisnefski reasons, has a lot of potential here to change the shape of a lot of things, the news media, the way people find information, and ultimately, the internet.
