I'm starting to think that the problem is Facebook sets the importance of politics much, much higher than the users of Facebook. It really seems like the folks doing the programming are political animals, and most of us are more concerned with the personal connections we have made. I think they are really bad at understanding our circle of people we deal with and are using a variety of factors that just aren't as important to us.
- wu-ikkyu 8y agoI recently noticed this with Google News in Chrome. The recommended stories in my feed were creepily relevant to my current location and interests. And yet, the top 2-3 results were not at all -- they were about some ridiculous political rumors/squabbles on CNN/Fox. I never visit those sites and also do my absolute best to be completely ignorant of such political "news". It was blantantly obvious they were forcing irrelevant political nonsense to the top of my queue.
