> Since when does search correlate to productivity?

I think it's active vs. passive. You search to find something vs just consuming whatever Zuckerberg thinks you want to know about.

Are taking notes, managing projects, sending emails, outlining documents, etc not active?

No, but those activities are dwarfed by time spent passively consuming content on Facebook.

For some users, sure. But that'd be about the user, not the platform. And more specifically, that'd probably be mostly about the time and place of use, not even the user.

If those same people had a 27" screen during that same slice of time and space, they'd probably be doing the same thing.
