They seem to suggest that it is being removed because it wasn’t being used. Does anyone else find that hard to believe? Obviously it’s totally antectodal, but I checked that EVERY time I logged onto Facebook.
Just because people don’t click on it doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t read it.... Afterall it’s visible right in the top right of the site. To be honest this kind of sounds like Facebook is trying to skirt around the real reason for removing it (it was contributing to promoting fake news).
Does anyone know if all of the trending items were reviewed by editors? If so, then I’d be more inclined to believe their explanation
- qop 8y agoYeah, they want it gone because people are making a stink about the agendization of what news is shown on the feed. I'd like to see trending reflect my geographical trends more than anything. What are my hometown friends talking about, and that sort of thing. I don't give a shit about what the average person talks or thinks about, that's the whole point of only having my friends on facebook, or so I thought. Turns out I am supposed to read fake news, click ads, and shut up.
