Interesting. Might not be related, but once upon a time, Facebook had an API for pulling data on a feed that was limited to 250 posts (now documented as 100 posts) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27760273/how-to-get-avera...

Googling around, it looks like a lot of outlets appear to write 200-350 posts per week, and since they are aiming for a certain number, it could just be that these four tend to aim for 250 worth sharing each week? Hmm. Doesn't seem right either.

Basically... I've no idea. I'm curious too! :)

I think it's the API limit. Last time I tried doing something like this I hit the 250 posts limit.
