I think you comment does not contribute to the conversation. If you're annoyed by my question that does not make it an argument or move the conversation forward. If you can share some aspects of boosting that clarify your argument, please do so.
The funny truth is, I strongly suspect, I know about ads and ranking and boosting no less than you do. What's called boosting could be complex set of many different algorithms that change over time. Boosting that was a year ago is not the same one that is now, etc.
But overall the irony of our exchange is here. Quoting from DI about section:
> We are ardent proponents of quality over quantity, and accuracy over hyperbole.
Feels like this specific post about facebook is actually quite a hypebole a bit like a propaganda post. With a lot of assumptions and accusations. With the purpose to push specific agenda. In your post you spit hate towards facebook, but when confronting with some questions to test the logic of your claims, you finally appeal to authority rather than clarifying your claims.

- sgregnt 5y agoThis can be computed in this sense: "One of the great challenges in this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you're right, but not enough about the subject to know you're wrong." Neil deGrasse Tyson Change "you're right" -> "you know the subject" & "you're wrong" -> "you don't know the subject". Saying Facebook introduced "boosting" does not mean a lot...
