When people have options for what they want to see, it forces the quality of programming and content to be higher.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people are making the decision to put a piece of content online, they really do truly want to get it in front of the largest audience.
We need to build systems that can automatically figure out what's high quality and what's not, and encourage users to contribute high-quality content. There's a lot of technical challenges in that.
In their search for quality, people seem to be looking for permanency in a time of change.
I think my viewers want smart, honest programming. They don't want to be told what makes them feel good.
The point is that these decisions they've made are partly for your convenience and partly for theirs and partly out of stereotypes that they carry with them from the conventions of the computer field.
I think we have to recognize as an industry that users have a lot more choices and can click away to a lot more media. As a result, the advertising we create really needs to be something users want to see.
Because the competitive landscape of the web is such that the site which looks and works best gets the most traffic, developers and designers put a premium on the presentation of that content and let structural markup take a back seat.
Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.
Consumers are increasingly programming their own entertainment and content experiences.
In software, it's easy to understand what people want, and it's hard to build. Internet stuff is super easy to build, but it's hard to know what people want.
