Talk:Recommendation systems in social media platforms

Overall, I like what you have written for your article so far. You picked an interesting and relevant topic that has a lot of information available and a lot of ethical concerns that you can talk about. So far, everything that you wrote about relates to the topic. Make sure to add an image before you submit it. One idea I have of an image that you could include is an example of an advertisement on a social media platform to show the types of ads that are recommended to users. In terms of length, the length of your article needs to be around 3,000 words. So far, you have about 600 words, so you need to add about 1,400 more words to meet the requirement. Since this was just a draft, I understand why you do not meet the requirement. Getting more words would be easy if you added more sections in the body of your article. One example of a topic that you could add is more information about the different social media platforms that use the types of recommendation systems you referred to in your opening paragraph. Some of these platforms could be TikTok and Instagram. Giving more specific information about the different implementations of the recommendation systems would provide the reader with more information about your issue. Another example could be the history of social media platforms and how they started to implement recommendation systems. This would increase your length and add more context to your article. I think the opening paragraph that you have is a good start, but it still needs some improvement. I like how you clearly explained and defined recommendation systems. However, you could make it better by introducing some ethical issues that you discuss later on. This would help make your purpose more apparent to the reader. Also, you should include links to the resources that you utilized in your opening paragraph. Having more information from credible sources would show that your arguments are backed up. I also like the structure of your article because you have different body paragraphs that cover interesting topics and the ethical issues related to your topic. You could improve these paragraphs by adding more credible sources to add more information. By reading your section about criticism of the recommendation system on social media platforms, it is clear to me what the issue at stake is. I specifically like the part about Instagram and young adult depression because you used a specific example about Lindsay Dubin. Reading a specific example about how recommendation systems affected one person makes the ethical concerns seem more important. You could add more ethical concerns to make your article longer. One of the ethical concerns you could add is about TikTok and the information they track about its users. To make your article more objective, you could add more information about the positives of recommendation systems for social media companies. That way, the company's perspective is highlighted more, and your article covers both sides of the conversation. Lastly, you do a good job writing from a neutral point of view. The only improvement you could make is to add credible sources in the opening paragraph, so it is not just your opinions. All of your points made in the body of your article are backed up by credible sources that you cited. You do not argue for anything but describe the controversy surrounding social media recommendation systems using credible sources. Ultimately, I think you have a fantastic start to your article but have room for improvement for the final draft.
