@mpouraryan I'm with you - I despise some of these sites for playing video content automatically.
I think from their side, they are in a tough position. They don't have many good ways to monetize readers, so they have to settle with this. It sucks, but we do get a lot of free contnet as a result.

I welcome it because our team at @DailyOutsider utilizes it for its' daily and weekly analysis on on-going evolution in the World--The question is monetization indeed--which is a struggle we've got to deal with at the @DailyOutsider.

@dcawrey Same here! When I saw FB's announcement about "improving" things with video that will now not only play automatically but play with the sound on, I thought this is not a good move for people like me.

Facebook Live Streaming
@Ariella I agree. There is nothing more irritating during those times, such as the middle of the night, when you're trying to be discreet being online, and suddenly a video comes on blasting.

Re: Facebook Live Streaming
The new apparent standalone App Facebook is planning for "TV" to apparently tap into the 20 Billion US Advertising market is also a march towards domination--isn't it? I can't help but wonder where will it end?

But doesn't that seem like a setting that could easily be turned off if the user wanted to change it?

@mikeroch - I agree that YouTube has quality and even history that people know they can rely on. But a big difference between Facebook and YouTube is the audience. Facebook has built themselves as a social network. So people have a group of friends and likely an app on their phone, to notify those friends once you start up a live video. You can definitely get followers on YouTube, and maybe? (I'm not really sure here) be notified if there's a new video, but people still don't use YouTube the way they use Facebook. So as far as a new social form of communication, I still see Facebook as being on top.
That said, I not only believe, but sincerely hope, Facebook Live is a short-lived novelty. I really don't care for it at all. I find it more annoying than anything.

Yuck!
I am really not a fan of Facebook Live. Period. Most of my friends use it for their MLM businesses. Which I already find annoying enough, but then to bombard my newsfeed with their videos makes it even worse. I'm sure there are some people who want to use it to create their own "television shows" but a fair number of people are always looking for a way to break into fame. So that some would want to go that route doesn't surprise me at all. With the popularlity of reality TV, I could see Facebook TV being right behind. Even if I'm not one of the ones watching it.

Facebook as Goliath
Facebook is also trying to one-up LinkedIn by getting into the jobs market - does anyone forsee a buyout of You Tube or LinkedIn?

Re: Facebook as Goliath
I think Facebook needs to realize just who they are. I don't see them being that successful in the job market. It's been a few years now, but I was told most employers won't even entertain a resume with an email address from Hotmail or Yahoo. I can only imagine employers feeling similarly about anything on Facebook. There is really no need to branch out from LinkedIn for employment, they seem to have that field covered pretty well.
