How would you adjust the algorithm? Maybe surface new posts with some degree of stochasticity, like what HN does? Sorting by Hot on Reddit feels pretty similar to FB, and sorting strictly chronologically doesn't scale (just sort by New on HN or Reddit - most posts just aren't very interesting to most people).
- code_duck 8y agoIt’s complex and difficult to say since the algorithm is secret. I could list flaws or ways I think it should work differently. I think it’s been tainted by FB’s business models. I will check back when I have more time to write.
