Why change a good thing?
First they took our favourites and gave us “likes”, now they’re taking our chronological timeline?!
The social media site plans on using algorithms to display content in the order that we’d like, because they think they know us that well.
Well, turns out they don’t know us AT ALL, as people are not reacting favourably.
Although Buzzfeed reports that the new algorithm will be rolled out next week, many are seeing the new timeline already, which elevates more popular content to the top of the scroll.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting:
