[Music] news is everywhere on social media no more news on social then there is air in the world to breathe if it's on Facebook you'll see News Twitter yeah Instagram snapchat of course all those platforms that you're wrong that I'm not because I'm really old now there's probably news there too and it gets there in a variety of ways from people like me at the ABC who really want you to read it articles to you sharing updates about games or books or TV shows that you like or probably your mum tagging you in post because
you don't talk to her anymore news gets to you in a lot of different ways so people are sharing use of social media all the time that doesn't mean you're going to see it that's decided by the algorithm people often talk about algorithms as if there's some kind of gods lording over news feeds but all they are are what engineers at companies think are important and that what you want to see so so at Facebook for example may decide that a post was a lot of likes is more important so they'll show it to you
next week might be comments week after it might be a link that's being shared everywhere also I'm really popular might just share one story and they may think that's really important or was a combination of all the above so people may trying game algorithms to make sure that you see their posts they may add a really inflammatory caption some people comment on it really angrily people on YouTube for example might put thumbnails that are really exaggerated so you be more likely to click on them and people always run a second guess what the algorithm is
going to favor so they can make sure to bear on top of it [Music]
