Re:Facebook's Method for Hiring Designers by dragonwriter on Thursday May 01, 2014 @05:14PM (#7682732)
Most of the non-technical users I interact with feel the same way about the feed as the upthread complaint. I do think the feed is ordered very deliberately based on Facebook's data, but not around pleasing users, instead around assuring the marginal value of spending money for reach so that more people will do that. That's why "get stories sorted by our in-house secret-sauce algorithm" keeps getting pushed forward while "most recent" keeps getting made less useful and harder to get to (to the point where it is no longer possible to have it the default feed display on the Android app.)
