You can see from comments here on hackernews that at least a few people interpreted this as a change to their ranking algorithm. Writing ambiguously to support a narrative is also misreporting. I know anti-FB sentiment is strong on hackernews. But seriously look at that screenshot and tell me what's wrong with that? How's that different from promotions by Apple on ios/app store, Microsoft on windows, twitter, google, youtube, etc. etc. They are just promoting their company on their own platform. When did your Facebook newsfeed become this untouchable sacred place where nothing beside chronological posts from your friends is allowed? I want to hate facebook as much as anyone else but I really don't see news here.
