Has nothing to do with technical limitations and everything with engagement metrics. Facebook does not want to show you what you want to see, they want to show you what will hook you and keep you in the platform. If anything, it takes more resources to show their view than just a time posted order.
- ricardo81 6y agoNot sure I agree, because you can fiddle between "most popular" vs "most recent" and sometimes the "most recent" cannot be seen at all! It's as if they're unavailable, or, too many hops away to be available. And if it's a case of guessing what's going to be engaged more with, I want to see everything and make my own choice. wrt to resources, perhaps they index one or the other and they make their choice rather than mine.
- inshadows 6y ago> Facebook does not want to show you what you want to see, they want to show you what will hook you and keep you in the platform. Sounds like drug dealers. I'm not hooked to their platform because they don't show me what I want to see. But what you said imply that there is some addictive content that people would normally avoid, but Facebook helps them get addicted. Truly evil. I'm not active Facebook user so I don't know how it goes there.
