Facebook Is Changing. What Does That Mean for Your News Feed?<br />In a post on the company’s blog Thursday, the head of its News Feed team, Adam Mosseri, wrote<br />that showing more posts from friends and family “means we’ll show less public content, including videos and other posts from publishers or businesses.”<br />For many people, that news will come as a relief.<br />Conversations stemming from live videos, celebrities’ posts, private groups<br />and other highly interactive post types will be among those highlighted on the new News Feed.<br />“To do this, we will predict which posts you might want to interact with your friends about, and show these posts higher in feed,” Mr. Mosseri wrote.<br />It gestured toward a 2015 paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology<br />that showed that passive usage of the website, even for just 10 minutes a day, had a negative effect on students’ sense of well-being.<br />Those who still want to see posts from their favorite brands<br />and trusted, wonderful publishers, one of whose articles you may be reading at this very moment, will be able to.
