Serena Williams’ husband on the problems that plague social media
Ohanian highlights social media's challenge in meeting conflicting user needs and how attempting to do so compromises the user experience.
Social Media's Challenge
He stated the two important needs
Ohanian identified the key user needs addressed by social media, describing them as incompatible like "oil and water."

Ohanian tweeted, “Social media can fulfill 2 types of needs: 1. Community (interacting with friends) 2. Entertainment (creator/brand content) TLDR; These needs are like oil and water. No matter how hard FB/IG/Twitter wants to mix them, it’s just not happening.”
