Only up to a point. I have actually missed wedding announcements because the announcement was pushed far down by more recent but less relevant news. Yes, if you use Facebook for 30 minutes a day, you probably won't miss anything. But if you use Facebook less often than that (like an hour a week, or once a month), you will absolutely miss relevant news because it'll be pushed down by whatever political shoutfest is currently drawing comments and reactions.

But if you use Facebook less often than that (like an hour a week, or once a month) Which I'm sure is complete coincidence and not at all intended to draw you into using Facebook every second of every hour of every day
