You have a coefficient with each of your friends on Facebook, that represents how close you are with them, based on how much you interact with them on Facebook.

You have a coefficient with each of your friends on Facebook, that represents how close you are with them, based on how much you interact with them on Facebook. Coefficient ranking is probably sorting your friends list by coefficient to show you the ones you're closest with first.
- wrkccnt 8y agoGreat! Thanks.
- clubm8 8y agoSounds flawed. What if I interact with someone a lot because they're a family member who shares dumb boomer memes and we argue? :)
- inetknght 8y agoSounds flawed, yes. But what makes you think it can't include whether or not the person is a family member as part of the coefficient calculation? And, what makes you think that the way you interact with your family is indicative of the way others do or don't interact with one or more of theirs?
- jfv 8y agoDo you still see ads? Yep.
- tristor 8y agoThat's actually exactly how the algorithm is supposed to work. Negative emotions are far more catchy. You see dumb boomer memes constantly, you constantly argue, but you're ENGAGED. Which means you're a juicy user for ad targeting.
- CGamesPlay 8y agoYou have a coefficient with every object in facebooks graph, actually. Pages, friends of friends, even apps. It’s based on interactions, sure, but you should probably think about it more as a probability of future interaction, which is why they use it for sorting.
