NS. FUCK OFF WITH THE FACEBOOK SHARES

special-JFor example: In the last two days you shared at least 8 of your own posts of some not-that-incredible shit from within the past month. With all the new content uploaded every day, don't you think something new might be worth posting?

With all the shitty bullshit clogging up Facebook no one needs to see some kid doing a front 2 out again. Not to mention the random slopestyle run reposts…

Sorry. drank too much coffee and am pissed off at nothing. but seriously, please cool it

THEDIRTYBUBBLENS is the only thing keeping me from deleting my facebook

KrotchSorry you're not digging it man. There are multiple reasons as to why I repost "some not-that-incredible shit" and I'll go a bit into our social strat as of recent.

1. 99% of people enjoy seeing shit like that again (or maybe they didn't see it the first time) whether it's a funny crash, cool trick, ect. You sir are the 1% that hate it.

2. With FB's ever changing News Feed algorithm, many of our fans miss posts from the page so re-sharing direct to FB videos is a good way to hopefully hit that segment of people. Obviously there is bound to be overlap (as in your case).

3. Reach is a big way to grow the page in terms of likes/link clickthroughs which in turn will lead to better success for the page when we do post links. Currently, FB has a hard-on for direct to FB content (which has much greater potential to reach more people) and seemingly throttles down the reach for links/anything that takes you to an external site because they never want you to leave FB, ever.

4. As far as old slopestyle runs or other older NS links being posted, I'll let a quote from Mr. Bishop do the explaining on the new software we are using...

"We actually have been trying a dramatically increased posting volume. Dramatic. We've been harvesting the old archives and throwing stuff up to see what sticks. Facebook has been claiming that it won't bombard our users with too much stuff, and that their algorithms are really good at figuring this out.That being said, we've found there's a line. We can definitely post way too much and then as you said, it can get frustrating especially if its mediocre. However, only posting 3-5 times per day is a terrible idea because we're leaving out tonnes of people that would have liked to see our stuff who don't come on the site all day....
So far its looking like posting more is an excellent idea. Traffic is through the roof, and people coming in are very engaged with most of the content. When they don't like it, they just scroll by and it dies off pretty quick. When they do, it really shares out."

5. Sometimes I'm too damn lazy (or busy) to search through latest videos on NS to see what's worth posting to FB instead of sharing a previously posted direct to FB video.

6. Harsh truth is not everything that does well on NS deserves to be posted to FB. Most people (on FB) don't give a shit about your season edit or your squad mobbing at your local park.

I could go on for days but I'll just stop here. Hope this clears up posting habits for the FB page a little bit.



Glad I'm able to keep you somewhat sane on FB, trust me, I wouldn't have a FB if I didn't need one to run the page.

marslandAnyway, I lost track of where I was going other than to agree that the shares seem to be getting a bit excessive. Maybe its because I spend too much time on here, maybe its because I get tired of watching mediocre edits or that I am only seeing ones I watched before. Go ahead and tell me that I should unfollow NS on facebook or quit complaining, its not going to happen. OP has a valid point and doesn't deserve everyone going against him.

SourSteezlefuck off OP, unfriend them if you want. To me it sounds like you spend way too much time on Facebook. You're complaining about ski edits popping up when every other post on Facebook belongs in a diary.

OP is soft

Mr.BishopI mean its all part of us trying new strategies. The bottom line with this one is that the person who sees too much repeat content on the NS Facebook page, would be better served to just visit newschoolers every day and not follow us on Facebook.

The Facebook audience is far more general and wide-spread, and as such they have been responding incredibly well to us sharing stuff that archival, re-shares and all the other stuff that you guys don't like. With the responses we've gotten from the core members, most say what the rest of the people in here are saying, which is "just scroll past it" - meaning that the amount of time it takes to ignore something makes higher share counts irrelevant.

Please do know that we're not ignoring the few people who are frustrated by this. We're putting a huge amount of time, effort and money into the creation of fresh new content, which will hopefully balance out some of the other stuff you see from the archives.

Currently though, the bottom line is that our FB Audience is treated differently than a core NSer. Core NSer will like the 'hot' and 'top rated' lists on the site, which are designed to be full of fresh non-repeating content for you. FB is for the non-core NSer who needs to get caught up on everything we have both recently and from the last few years.

Don't ever hesitate to share your frustrations, and please I do encourage you to do it constructively. As pointed out, OP was quite hostile and I will tell you that makes me want to ignore comments much moreso than it grabs my attention.

icculus.in the last 24 hours NS facebook has shared 26 videos. yeah nah. i go to NS to watch those not facebook.

Mr.BishopWe're sharing a minimum of 24 pieces of content on Facebook per day.

It is 100% targeted at the type of user who sticks to FB on mobile vs. going to external websites.

icculus.so if i dont use fb mobile much I should unlike?

MinggWow OP maybe NS should hire you to manage their facebook since you seem to know your shit so well!!

El_Barto.holy fucking downvote. Nice to see 18 year old boys still dont want a girl to be part of the group. Douches

MinggBarto knows whats up.

#BartoForMod2k16

UPSIDEDOWNDICKI really don't need 10 posts from ns on my facebook feed in a row to promote some mediocre 300 word article about nothing by a purple name.

ElgTo be honest i don't know if you guys are manually posting on facebook or if its some automatic system doing it, but i really think this could easily be solved by actually letting is know if the video is new or 5 years old.

A_Harringtonplease stop posting the video of the kid at L2A doing flips off of rails and boxes I'll blow my brains out if i watch that one more time.

Op.I thought the same thing lol. There must be a glitch or something that makes that video appear every week.

GNARLY_BARLEYPeople still use facebook?
