Take a deep dive into Facebook's inner workings

I stumbled over this magnificent image some weeks ago in a Facebook group for marketing professionals. I thought this might be of interess some of my fellow Steemers / Influencers / Internet marketers. Even if your work don't relate to this, it's still really interessing to learn how the Facebook algorithm works.

Below the image I have added a link where you can see / download the full-scale GIF-file.

OK. Facebook knows me better than myself. LOL. Question is: does (or will) steemit does the same thing?

Haha, yes, it seems like they know a bit too much :D

Yes, I believe Steemit does the same but nowhere near as detailed as Facebook does. Steemit's algorithm I presume leans more towards: Upvotes, Re-steems, Comments & Replies, Wallet Balance, etc.
