A User’s Perspective on Recent Changes in the Facebook Algorithm

When I first joined Facebook, it was with the intention of connecting with friends and staying updated on their lives. Over time, however, I’ve noticed a shift. The recent modifications to Facebook’s algorithm have flooded my timeline with irrelevant content, leaving me wondering how to engage with updates from people I actually know.

The new algorithm seems to prioritize spam profiles over genuine updates from friends. As a user, I find myself scrolling through a sea of irrelevant posts, wondering how to sift through the noise. As we grow older, our priorities shift. We no longer need updates from every distant acquaintance or irrelevant profile. Instead, we value content that reflects our social circles and meaningful connections. Facebook should recognize this and adjust its algorithm accordingly. After all, what am I supposed to do with updates from people I don’t recognize or have any connection with?

To address this issue, Facebook could create a new tab called “Suggested Content/Profiles similar to video/marketplace” Here, users could find updates from people they actually know, prioritizing their social lives and meaningful connections. By revisiting their algorithm, Facebook can make a positive change that benefits its users.

As a user, I’m not satisfied with the recent changes. Flooded timelines and irrelevant profiles diminish the overall experience. I eagerly await Facebook’s response and hope they swiftly incorporate user suggestions into their next updates. Facebook, it’s time to revisit your algorithm and prioritize what truly matters: our connections and social lives. Let’s make the platform more user-friendly and relevant for everyone.

Thanks and Regards
