    I expect it to fail because it’s utter dogshit. Since the feed is algorithmic, you see a bunch of crap you aren’t following rather than the people you are following. Who wants that?

        The algorithms are the biggest thing driving me away from social media. I don’t want to just feed at the trough endlessly while my emotions bounce around erratically. Here is a cute cat, here is a meme about a video game, here is someone being killed by a drone, here is a video of a bird dancing.

      I have no idea about the specifics. But what you describe, is kind of the thing I’d expect.

      He would take a concept and make it worse, because he thinks he is smart.

      Maybe it’s to get people to scroll more, so they see more adverts. IDK. Facebook has a lot of behavioral data to use in such a design. But Zuckerberg might be arrogant enough to disregard it.
