I haven't used FB much in the last decade, but I have yet to see any news articles the few times I check my timeline each year. Don't you have to follow sources that provide news articles, including friends that post the articles? Or does FB decide to sprinkle in news articles based on algorithmically ascertained preferences if you regularly engage with the platform?
