That doesn’t mean it “does not have an algorithm” entirely, though. There’s a couple of non-trivial ones being used to recommend friends and calculate the trending posts and tags that show up on the front page, and they do actually consider likes/shares as part of scoring.
Interesting posts being served up:
“This isn’t a fight between republican and democrat. It’s between communism and freedom.”
A map showing Republicans as an overwhelming majority.
Photo about Democrats being more likely to call white people terrorists, while Republicans are more likely to call every other race terrorists.
They’re not in the majority, but not subtle enough to avoid worming their way into peoples opinions.
