Wow, considering how FB's algorithm seems to pick a good news feed for me to read, it's astonishing how poorly done this year-in-review thing is done. It's not organized even by content that was most liked or read, and random, arbitrary events are given large prominence...it makes me wonder if my newsfeed really does reflect the things I'd be most interested in

I completely agree, and really wonder about their algorithms in general (there's a reason I keep my news feed sorted by most recent, rather than top stories). It completely missed my trip to South America over the summer, yet very prominently featured a random photo taken of me at the office yesterday.
