Publishers see short-form video views on Facebook cut in half

Publisher’s short-form Facebook videos have been on the wane after the algorithm has prioritized Facebook Live and the news feed has become flooded with content. Six months ago a well-performing video from The Sun would fetch 250,000 views, now it’s good to get over 100,000. In 2016, The Telegraph was getting over 10 million Facebook views a week for 70 videos. Now it’s under 5 million. “It’s questionable whether that’s saturation, algorithm changes or changes in content,” said The Telegraph’s head of social, James Carson. With mid-roll, Facebook could further penalize shorter videos. The post Publishers see short-form video views on Facebook cut in half appeared first on Digiday. Continue reading at 'Digiday'
