The social media platform is no more a networking place where we chat and have fun with friends and family. It has become a market for various brands and businesses running continuous ads and campaigns. The growing number of small businesses post the pandemic has made us realize the power of social media where one can sell anything and everything on social media. Influencers, models sell their ideas, business owners sell their products, social activists sell their knowledge and network with like-minded people. Having this, we can conclude that social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Reddit are not just used as a pastime activity but have yielded bread to various households. People started using monetization tools and are happily enjoying the reward for their creative content. Not everyone who starts a blog or vlog grows. It is just because they haven’t understood the algorithm of the platform or not providing value to their audience. This piece of content will help every content creators over Facebook on what they should start concentrating on to build a good partnership with Facebook. 

At the beginning of the year, Facebook released a new explainer on how its news feed algorithm works. In September 2021, it has released the types of posts it would limit the reach.

Keep reading to know what kind of content you can schedule in the mere future and the improvisation you and your team will have to work on. 

Facebook says that:

“Our content distribution guidelines outline some of the types of content that receive a reduced distribution in the News Feed. Our enforcements to reduce problematic content in News Feed are rooted in our commitment to the values of responding to people’s direct feedback, incentivizing publishers to invest in high-quality content and fostering a safer community”

Here are some of the types of content which Facebook terms as problematic and misleading:

1. Low-quality video: Static images uploaded as videos without dynamic audio, live broadcasts that are animated or pre-recorded. 
2. Low-quality browsing experience: Websites with too many internal errors and that are not mobile-friendly. 
3. Low-quality events: Events with incomplete guidelines and regulations. Pages that are suspected to be scammy and unauthorized behavior. 
4. Low-quality Comments: Comments that are pasted from some other source, random links of websites, and tagging a particular username without any content. 
5. Spammy pages: Pages that are predicted by Facebook to be using malware
6. Health Content: Pages that promote scammy products or medical treatments that provide an instant cure, etc. 
7. Links to unnecessary websites: Pages that provide outbound links to websites that demand personal information before showing the content. 
8. Engagement Bait: Posts that request for engagement such as like, comment, share, etc. without any value or even promoting hatred towards other creators, celebrities, and politicians. 

Facebook has found from their user feedback that they do not enjoy such posts which prompt them to like, comment, or vote without any specific reasons. Therefore, Facebook will reduce the reach of posts that ask the audience to like and comment for two different people, share to show their support, share to help them find a missing child or a person, etc. Try adding original content created by you and limit sharing others’ content like news articles without transparent authorship.
