The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “Facebook Tweaks News Feed Algorithm to Combat ‘Spammy’ Posts”.

Kurt Wagner says, “Facebook is tweaking its news feed algorithm again, this time to combat posts that contains “like-baiting,” duplicate content and “spammy links.”

Facebook says the algorithm change is in response to user feedback, and hopes to minimize the visibility of content the company considers “spammy.”

Included as spammy are posts that include “like-baiting,” a strategy that actively encourages users to Like, comment, or share content with friends to boost its circulation. Posts with more Likes get more visibility“.
