4. Following feeds are bad 

Everyone thinks they want a following feed. But even the people who ask for it churn faster when they get it. 

Following feeds get progressively worse as you follow more people. People used to complain that "the algo" didn't show them their friends.

This was surprising because at that time we didn't have an algo. It turned out they always followed a few people who casted 50 times a day and just drowned out everyone else.

"…当時はアルゴリズムがなかったので、これは驚きでした。アルゴリズムは、 1日に50回キャストする少数のユーザーを常に追跡し、他のユーザーを圧倒していたことが判明しました。"
