There are many, many legitimate criticisms you can make of Facebook. The death of the chronological news feed isn’t one of them.

您可以对Facebook提出很多正当的批评。 按时间顺序排列的新闻提要的死亡不是其中之一。

I get it: you used to scroll through Facebook until you stopped seeing new things. It was easy, and there was a built-in stopping point. You had a sense of control over what you saw, and you never missed anything.

我明白了：您曾经在Facebook上滚动浏览，直到您停止看到新事物。 这很容易，并且有一个内置的停止点。 您对所看到的事物有控制感，并且从未错过任何东西。

But it’s never coming back, and with good reason. A fascinating piece by Ben Evans, , outlines why the chronological feed needed to die. Basically it’s math.

但是它永远不会回来，并且有充分的理由。 本·埃文斯(Ben Evans)的一篇引人入胜的作品， ，概述了为什么需要按时间顺序供给。 基本上是数学。

It’s not uncommon for people to “friend” 200-300 people every few years, and the result according to Facebook is that the average user’s friends post at least 1,500 things a day. Evans uses this number to explore further:

人们每隔几年与200-300个人“交朋友”的情况并不少见，而根据Facebook的结果是，普通用户的朋友每天至少发布1,500封东西。 埃文斯(Evans)使用此数字进一步探索：

If you have 1,500 or 3,000 items a day, then the chronological feed is actually just the items you can be bothered to scroll through before giving up, which can only be 10% or 20% of what’s actually there. This will be sorted by no logical order at all except whether your friends happened to post them within the last hour. It’s not so much chronological in any useful sense as a random sample, where the randomizer is simply whatever time you yourself happen to open the app. ’What did any of the 300 people that I friended in the last 5 years post between 16:32 and 17:03?’ Meanwhile, giving us detailed manual controls and filters makes little more sense—the entire history of the tech industry tells us that actual normal people would never use them, even if they worked. People don’t file.

如果您每天有1,500或3,000个项目，那么按时间顺序排列的供稿实际上就是您在放弃之前可以烦恼地滚动浏览的项目，仅占实际库存的10％或20％。 除了您的朋友是否恰巧在最后一个小时内发布这些消息外，这根本不会按照逻辑顺序进行排序。 从任何有用的意义上讲，它都没有按时间顺序排列，而是作为随机样本，随机化器只是您自己打开应用程序的任何时间。 “在过去5年中，我在16:32至17:03之间结交的300个人中有什么人呢？” 同时，为我们提供详细的手动控件和筛选器意义不大-科技行业的整个历史告诉我们，即使他们工作了，实际的普通人也不会使用它们。 人们不归档。

The rest of the article says that even the algorithmically sorted feed is starting to become overwhelming, and speculates sites are already moving beyond it. , so check it out.

文章的其余部分说，即使按算法分类的提要也开始变得不知所措，并且推测网站已经在超越它。 ，因此请检查一下。
