Facebook Is Changing. What Does That Mean for Your News Feed?
Facebook Is Changing. What Does That Mean for Your News Feed?
In a post on the company’s blog Thursday, the head of its News Feed team, Adam Mosseri, wrote
that showing more posts from friends and family “means we’ll show less public content, including videos and other posts from publishers or businesses.”
For many people, that news will come as a relief.
Conversations stemming from live videos, celebrities’ posts, private groups
and other highly interactive post types will be among those highlighted on the new News Feed.
“To do this, we will predict which posts you might want to interact with your friends about, and show these posts higher in feed,” Mr. Mosseri wrote.
It gestured toward a 2015 paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology
that showed that passive usage of the website, even for just 10 minutes a day, had a negative effect on students’ sense of well-being.
Those who still want to see posts from their favorite brands
and trusted, wonderful publishers, one of whose articles you may be reading at this very moment, will be able to.
