Any proof of this happening? And does it utilize the user-provided relationship data or just group people?

Would you please not post unsubstantive comments here? If you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; otherwise please don't comment until you do.
Im sorry dang. its become a bit of a dirty habit to throw shade on FB whenever it comes up. I hate it with a passion. My goal is to get as many people to question their usage of FB and if it really enhances their lives. Ill try to be more constructive with my comments.
Network effect, and entrenched enemy are an issue here. You'd have to build something much better than Facebook to start eating away at that monster and disrupt the network. I loved Google+ and Mastodon but they're not 10x better.

#94>.. shame on Facebook for torturing them for the exposure when I was originally targeting maybe 10 other colleagues to begin with.
Seems like the facebook algorithm is actually working for the users by in effect blocking insipid idiots from posting their crap trying to game the system.
You don't 'target' colleagues.. colleagues are people you work with and respect.. not try to spam.

#95I find a lot of sites feel like they're overtuning their recommendation engines, to the detriment of using the site. YouTube is particularly bad for this - given the years of history and somewhat regular viewing of the site, I feel like it should have a relatively good idea of what I'm interested in. Instead, the YouTube homepage seems myopically focused on the last 5-10 videos I watched.

#96Facebook blocking users .. who try do excatly what facebook does ?
Well, facebook. That sucks.
You sell my privacy to anybody.. and I cant even send messages.

#97I've said it before and I'll say it again, FB users are a kind of digital peasant or serf.
To me it feels like we're seeing the genesis of the divide between Morlocks and Eloi.

Not all heroes wear capes -- thank you!
Someone should make a browser extension that will automatically (or provides a button to quickly) load the cached version when a site is down Edit: I just made a super simple bookmarklet that does it: http://mikelyons.org/2017/06/12/Google-Cache-Javascript-Shor...
You can also write `cache:` in front of the URL. Works in FF, probably also in Chrome.

#99Yesterday I sent one of my friends a link to an old - 4.5 years old, from 2013 dec - entry he wrote as a Facebook note. There were 70+ likes, 30+ commenters and 110 comments on it. He added a new comment yesterday - I only saw it, because I randomly decided to read through the comments. Those who commented on it should have received a notification - well, in the end, 2 people got something. This is how you effectivel…
On the other hand, I get more (and less relevant) notifications the less I’m active. $friendINeverTalkTo has commented on $PostByPageIDontFollow is NOT something I want to get notified about. Neither is XYZ has uploaded a photo
My guess is the point of those notifications is that it gives them an excuse to add points to the addictive little red number. It's not because they think you'll actually care.
