Meta, the umbrella company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, announced its new platform that sounded good in June 2021. Meta’s new platform was the ‘Bulletin’ platform, where you can follow independent writers and reach new readers.
The platform hosted articles from writers on many topics from economy to business, from art to culture, from sports to science and health. Today, there is news that upsets those who use this platform. Meta has announced that it will pull the plug on Bulletin.
It will remain open through 2022:
According to information quoted by The New York Times, the company sent an email to the authors who produce content on the platform. The content of this e-mail included information that the platform will be shut down soon. The company did not specify exactly when Bulletin will be shut down. It was stated that the platform will be open until 2023 and will be closed at the beginning of 2023.
It was actually made clear earlier this year that Meta might consider shutting down Bulletin. In a message to its employees, the company announced that it would not shift its focus to news and Bulletin, but to build a “more robust Creator economy.” Of course, the phrase “Creator” here was valid for video content.
Bulletin has hosted thousands of broadcasts from hundreds of content creators to date, enabling them to gain thousands of free email subscribers.
