In a recent job where I worked in Communications, my boss had me and my colleagues collect our Facebook post content, likes, shares and comments into a spreadsheet every week.
He would then comb through this data, berating us continually about what he perceived we had fucked up in order for the stats to be what he thought was low. Unfortunately, we never improved, as every week he would change his opinion of what worked. I always knew this was terrible asshattery, but I never realised quite the extent to which it was also based on total and complete bollocks. I have since left this job.
Anyway, thanks to the author of this article. It is bloody refreshing to read, and fascinating, too.
