Facebook’s News Feed: Often Changed, Never Great

There are days when I look at my news feed and it seems like a social fabric of fun—a video of the first steps of my friends’ baby! My nephew’s prom date! On other days, it feels like a Nascar vehicle, plastered with news stories, promoted posts, lame Live videos, and random content. And I know I am not alone in struggling with Facebook and how we experience it through its news feed. —The New Yorker
