The annoying bit is that (with the current model), if my friend likes cute puppies, then I'm forever cursed with them too, at the expense of all the things I actually want to see.
- AndrewDucker 9y agoThat is absolutely annoying as well. It's as if Facebook should show me the things I've asked it to, and show you the things you've asked it to, and not try and take mine away or give them to you.
- yellow_postit 9y agoInferring that people that are “friends” may share the same interests doesn’t seem that unreasonable to me.
- bpicolo 9y agoFine inference, but the implementation degenerates to spam. My news feed has almost nothing other than things-others-liked now, mostly because Facebook seems to be trying to push video heavily into your feed because (I assume) it increases their engagement statistics drastically on the average
- wolco 9y agoIt is very unreasonable for users who hundreds of friends to expect interests to he similiar. This could be excused for a smaller site but facebook has detailed metrics on what I liked where I visited outside of facebook and what purchases I made. Using that targeting is much more effective compared to friend's interest.
- wtetzner 9y agoDoesn't it? I have plenty of fiends that don't have the same interests that I do. And if I think one of my friends would like something, can't I just share it with them?
