Your friends are still posting, but you don´t see it anymore!

2010

In 2010, I started studying at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, Germany. It was the best time of my life and I really had a blast learning so much stuff, while connecting with so many different people. My Facebook friends list grew and became much bigger, but along the road something quite interesting happened:

While the number of friends grew, I saw less relevant posts in my News Feed! Relevant people and updates got replaced by auto-playing cat videos. Digging deeper I realized, that although my relevant friends are still posting, most posts never made it into my News Feed!

Did you know?

On average, a post is only seen by 16% of friends due to the temporal nature of the News Feed and Facebooks’s EdgeRank.
