Thank you and yes, the algorithm is a problem. I may have a funny thing that one set of friends like, but the algorithm shows it to another set who don't get it because it wasn't for them, but because they logged on first or some other algorithmic input they get it and the others don't. Maybe FB should let me input hints on who I intend it for.

The algorithm should be the service!

I can tune my feed to receive whatever I want to optimize on, instead of what is most engaging and profitable to send to me.

They do, but you have to pay for the privilege.
