#AlgorithmicTakeover: "…the friends-and-family era of the “ #socialgraph” is over, having been replaced with what Meta grimly calls “ #unconnectedcontent”—posts from accounts that you may or may not follow, chosen for you by a recommendation #algorithm.
…a natural byproduct of people choosing to share fewer posts of their own, forcing companies like #Meta to find alternatives. “Longtime users’ friend lists have … become an often-outdated archive of people they once knew."
