Facebook Feed doesn\u2019t always serve up fresh, engaging posts that you consistently enjoy. We\u2019re working on it. We\u2019re making a number of changes this year to improve Feed, help creators break through and give people more control over how content is personalized to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We recently introduced a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2025\/03\/bringing-magic-of-friends-back-to-facebook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">new Friends tab<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the US to help bring back the \u201cOG\u201d Facebook experience. Now we\u2019re launching an initiative to further crack down on spammy content. Some accounts try to game the Facebook algorithm to increase views, reach a higher follower count faster or gain unfair monetization advantages. While the intentions are not always malicious, the result is spammy content in Feed that crowds out authentic creator content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving forward, we\u2019re taking a number of steps to reduce this spammy content and help authentic creators reach an audience and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Lowering the Reach of Accounts Sharing Spammy Content<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some accounts post content with long, distracting captions, often with an inordinate amount of hashtags. While others include captions that are completely unrelated to the content \u2013 think a picture of a cute dog with a caption about airplane facts. Accounts that engage in these tactics will only have their content shown to their followers and will not be eligible for monetization.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43356\" src=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?resize=960%2C836\" alt=\"Someone adding distracting, unneeded captions\" width=\"960\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=1920 1920w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=1240 1240w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02_Distracting-captions-1.jpg?w=689 689w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spam networks often create hundreds of accounts to share the same spammy content that clutters people\u2019s Feed.

We\u2019re going to take more aggressive steps on Facebook to prevent this behavior. For example, comments that we detect are coordinated fake engagement will be seen less. We also continue to monitor and remove fake pages that exist to inflate reach \u2013 in 2024 we took down more than 100 Million fake Pages engaging in scripted follows abuse on Facebook. Along with these efforts, we\u2019re also exploring ways to elevate more meaningful and engaging discussions. For example, we\u2019re testing a comments feature so people can signal ones that are irrelevant or don\u2019t fit the spirit of the conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43357\" src=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?resize=960%2C836\" alt=\"Denoting comments that aren't useful or seem spammy\" width=\"960\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=1920 1920w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=1240 1240w, https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_Demoted.jpg?w=689 689w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creators are often targets of other accounts pretending to be them. In 2024, we took down over 23 million profiles that were impersonating large content producers. While we\u2019ve made a lot of progress, there\u2019s more work to do. In addition to the proactive detection and enforcements we have in place to identify and remove imposters, we\u2019ve added features to Moderation Assist, Facebook\u2019s comment management tool, to detect and auto-hide comments from people potentially using a fake identity. Creators will also be able to report impersonators in the comments.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p>\n<h2>Continuing to Protect and Elevate Creators Sharing Original Content<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The content that creators share is an expression of themselves. When other accounts reuse their content without their permission, it takes unfair advantage of their hard work. We continue to enhance <a href=\"https:\/\/creators.facebook.com\/tools\/rights-manager\/\">Rights Manager<\/a> to help creators protect their original content. We\u2019re also providing guidance to help creators making original, engaging content succeed on Facebook.

Spammy content can get in the way of one\u2019s ability to ultimately have their voices heard, regardless of one\u2019s viewpoint, which is why we\u2019re targeting the behavior that\u2019s gaming distribution and monetization. We want the creator community to know that we\u2019re committed to rewarding creators who create and share engaging content on Facebook. This is just one of the many investments to ensure creators can succeed on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v5.0\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2025\/04\/cracking-down-spammy-content-facebook\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve heard you.
