Back when I had Facebook, I had a contact who posted quite a lot. Often quite interesting stuff so I would read it when his stuff appeared in my newsfeed.

So Facebook just made his posts my... uh entire newsfeed. Like my newsfeed would just be 5-10 posts from this guy, some political bullshit and then another 5-10 posts from the same guy.

Even if that were the stuff I was engaging with, surely it is obvious that I don't want it in that quantity.

I'd love to hear from Facebook newsfeed product managers as it really seems like no humans actually contributed to decisions.



Oh yeah you got the pornhub experience. “You liked one thing so this must be your kink and you must have no other interests.”
