Facebook is working towards making your homepage more informative, pushing more quality articles and news and cutting back on memes, over-shared photos.
This comes after the giant network found out that news and informative articles are more likely to get clicked on. It will also recommend similar links below articles in your news feed.
“Our surveys show that on average people prefer links to high quality articles about current events,” Facebook announced, “their favorite sports team or shared interests, to the latest meme. Starting soon, we’ll be doing a better job of distinguishing between a high quality article on a website versus a meme photo hosted somewhere other than Facebook when people click on those stories on mobile. This means that high quality articles you or others read may show up a bit more prominently in your News Feed, and meme photos may show up a bit less prominently.”
This mobile algorithm update is to see the light soon, yet Facebook has still not revealed much on the content it will be trying to get out of the spotlight.
What type of shared content do you usually visit on Facebook?
