This article is about how while Facebook's intention is to increase engagement, it backfires in this specific case because the algorithm takes his mother's Like and interprets that as "this post will get the most engagement from family" when actually it was more targeted to outsiders.
- Bakary 9y agoFor all we know the author's experience is a fringe case and Facebook's policy in this instance is successful.
- Nition 9y agoFor sure. I just thought it sounded like compiler-guy hadn't quite understood what the article was claiming.
- compiler-guy 9y agoI understood it very well. The issue is that his case is an edge case and facebook likely doesn't care--the algorithm creates more engagement than it destroys.
