Study finds that Twitter's algorithmic timeline greatly reduces exposure to external links when compared to the chronological timeline
New research on Twitter's timeline curation algorithm sheds light on how it shapes what we're exposed to. — How does Twitter's algorithm change what users see in their timelines?
“The “filter bubble” metaphor is popular, but our study adds to growing counter-evidence: Twitter's algorithm increased the number of accounts in the timeline.” Interesting study (and great summary blog!) by @jackbandy & @ndiakopoulos 💡 https://medium.com/...
