"When you follow someone, you'll see their posts in your News Feed," Facebook tells its users. No, you won't. Untrue. http://almightylink.ksablan.com/social-...

Agreed. FB could have applied work towards better user filtering tools... But they've ended up with a business model that depends on the artificial scarcity from their auto-filtering algorithm: "pay us to reach everyone following you." And worse, people and brands rationally try to game the algorithm by posting low-quality clickbait. There's a lot less clickbait on Twitter and Tumblr IMO and I think that's because neither has an algorithmic filter system.
