[Lazy person] Facebook takes another move to increase the display ratio of local news [Updated on the evening of February 1st]
Facebook took another move on January 30, announcing that it would adjust its algorithm to increase the frequency of local news. Interpreting the meaning of this message, we believe that Facebook messages will not only strengthen the stratosphere of relatives and friends, but also further strengthen the situation of the local stratosphere starting now.
How to deal with Facebook’s changing algorithm? Please refer to content hacking related articles:
Facebook will first implement this local news priority principle in the United States, and other countries will follow suit. Content Hacker has compiled the latest relevant information for you as follows, please refer to:
