The FB feed has been terrible since it changed from a chronological list. Doubt this will improve anything.
> The FB feed has been terrible since it changed from a chronological list Isn’t there still an option to rank chronologically? It just isn’t the default. In any case, the news feed has been a quantitative success in terms of engagement metrics.

The very first sentence of Zuckerberg's FB post says: > One of our big focus areas for 2018 is to make sure that the time we all spend on Facebook is time well spent. "Time well spent" is also the name of an organization that is one of Facebook's strongest critics: http://timewellspent.io I wonder if the phrasing is deliberate.

OTOH it’s absurd that if you want to see again that post you saw last week — or this morning! — you probably can’t find it. That can be true in the HN firehouse too though sometimes you can dredge it out of your browser history. Good luck trying that w/FB
My gf works on this at FB (don’t know if she works on this particular change) and she says her group talks every day about the difficulty of finding stuff. I don’t know if those discussions are part of her work or it’s just they have the same problems. I just know that when I gripe about any UX issues or the shittiness of their app she just sighs and says, “yeah, we know”

It will "maximize eyeballs", which is the desired result for them.
Edit: to hook people on FB to increase eye ball time (which translates to more ad exposure as well as improving individual profiling and ad targeting)
I've unfollowed everyone. My feed only shows past memories. I love my feed. I highly recommend it.
