Shows are made up of episodes — live or recorded — and follow a theme or storyline. To help you keep up with the shows you follow, Watch has a Watchlist so you never miss out on the latest episodes.
“Facebook Watch” is also a platform for publishers to find an audience and build an engaged user base for their shows.The question lots of people have been asking is if Uncle Mark has in mind that he wants to overcome YouTube with this his new Platform.
While this new platform appears to be fairly similar to YouTube, which has its own strong user base of 1.3 billion, Facebook’s approach to attract users is a bit different from that of YouTube.
