- yummyfajitas 10y agoWhat's wrong with this? Would it also be wrong if Facebook changed their algorithm but deployed the update to 100℅ of users? If not, why is 50℅ somehow bad while 100℅ is ok?

- grubles 10y agoFacebook modified certain users' feeds to only show "sad" or "negative" posts and effectively hide "happy" or "positive" posts, while simultaneously doing the opposite to others' feeds. Grade A+ psychologically manipulative experiment. This is why I don't engage in the Facebook nonsense anymore.
