Facebook is full of it - 5 hours after pro-Trump post, counters are locked at 1!
Wednesday, 19 June 2019
This morning I posted an article about President Trump's 2020 campaign launch.
It was pro-Trump.
Now, some 5 hours later, the Facebook "people reached" counter is stuck resolutely at "1".
Facebook's distribution algorithms are based on reach - ie the more popular an article, the more it's presented to other people. That's how stuff "goes viral" on the internet.
One person reached?
A blind man with a cork eye can see that 153 people have reacted, 17 have commented, 18 have shared (and some on-shared) - all of that with Facebook defiantly booking just the one person having been reached.
Maybe if Trump was a black, lesbian, disabled Democrat he might rate a bit higher on the Facebook worthiness score.
