If Facebook’s trying to annoy its users, it’s doing a really good job of it. <\/p>\n
Lots of people (including me) have been wondering why their Facebook posts have been getting fewer comments and “likes.” Turns out that most people aren’t seeing the latest posts. Why? Because the “powers that be” at Facebook are morons!<\/p>\n
To be more specific, Facebook’s News Feed default setting is now delivering old posts, referred to in polite company as “Highlighted Posts.” Want to see fresh posts, like a normal, sane person? Then you have to click on “Sort” and then select “Recent Stories First.”<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, selecting “Recent Stories First” must be done routinely. Why? Because Facebook doesn’t allow you to permanently change its “Ancient Stories That You’re Really Sick Of & Never Want To See Again” default. <\/p>\n
My Facebook rant wouldn’t be complete without a limerick, would it?<\/p>\n

\nTo make us do sorting
\nTo see posts that are fresh. Oy gevalt!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
