As a pass-through, meaning promotional outlet, for editorial content, Facebook is unmatched. But as a platform for presenting that content, the social media giant is underwhelming. To be fair to the creators of Facebook, they had to build something an unprecedented number of users—2.9 billion at this point—could handle without having to learn even the most basic Internet publishing or website design and implementation skills.

So, yes, as an “editorial content platform” Facebook is a cookie-cutter solution that lacks design and presentation flexibility. The trade-off is that it’s easy as hell to use and reaches a hell of a lot of people.
