Inferring 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?
