- javagram 5y agoPlatforms wouldn’t be using algorithmic feeds (that include content a user did not opt into following) if users didn’t prefer it by their behavior.
- colecut 5y agoI think users would overwhelmingly prefer chronological feeds, but that would reduce the time people spent on them...
- mcintyre1994 5y agoI don't use the main FB app but when I have before it'd constantly show me stuff from pages/people/whatever that I didn't follow. I think it was mostly friends of friends, or stuff friends liked. Have they got rid of all of that now?
- analogdreams 5y agoi just logged in to my account (i look about once a week) and everything i see that is not an ad is something i actively opted into or was shared by someone i chose to follow/friend.
- rsynnott 5y agoThing about Facebook is, it pushes stuff at you. Not stuff you'll like, stuff you'll _engage_ with. Last time I logged in it offered me a weird anti-trans Economist article. Life is too short to invite a robot to irritate you; that's why I don't use Facebook anymore.
