Meta has announced that Facebook and Instagram are going to show more posts from accounts that you don’t follow. I don’t care so much about Instagram, but i like the idea on Facebook. For the last two years, it’s felt like I only see posts from the same 5 people over and over, some multiple days in a row showing up at the top. And if I happened to like something I saw somewhere else, then it would kick off one of the other and I’d see nothing but that all the time.
I love my friends, but 80% of them don’t post a lot and when they do, it’s usually one of 3 things they always stick to. So, I’mma gonna be happy to see new material. Also, show me more from my friends list. I have hundreds, but I only ever see stuff from 5 people at once, like I said.
Let me also add that the new stuff better not be things selling stuff or meant to draw you into a pitch. There’s already too much of that. It’s starting to seem like every 3rd post is an ad. Meta says it will double the amount of content from recommended accounts by the end of 2023.
