Why don't they just give us the ability to customize what we want to run on our feed?
It has to be the same for everybody; they have to maintain a consistent UX because it's harder to sell random reach to advertisers. Remember that you're not Facebook's customer, so this is a move to keep eyeballs from leaving.
Take away the tools that can be used for political manipulation and Facebook starts looking a lot more like Snap/IG/TWTR/some new thing.

- tjoff 9y agoRandom reach? Consistent UX? The UX is the same, just the content is different (just as it is today, I don't get the same feed as you).
- nradov 9y agoThere's nothing random about Facebook advertising sales. Regardless of how your feed is customized, they know exactly who you are and what you're interested in.
