Congratulations to everyone on reaching a new decade, which means, of course, another set of updates to the Facebook algorithm. ow.ly/VoJX50yjS7e
Let's take a look at how the ol' Facebook algorithm works, shall we?
First off, the algorithm prioritizes showing you posts from the people and pages that you interact the most with. Generally these will be the people you're closest with and the pages you're the biggest fan of.
Next, it takes into consideration the types of content you're being shown. Posts that include media like videos, GIFs, or an image (whichever you engage with most) get bumps in comparison to plain text posts.
And the third factor that the Facebook algorithm takes into account when choosing which content to show is how popular a post is. If there's a post that is going viral or getting lots of engagement, the Facebook algorithm will show it to you if it thinks you might enjoy it too.
Pretty cool, hey? There's a whole lot of work going on behind the scenes to make sure that the posts you see on your Facebook news feed are as interesting and relevant to you as possible.
