The scrolling, algorithmically ordered stream of posts from a user's network shown on their homepage, one of the earliest and most influential examples of an algorithm deciding what content a person sees rather than a purely chronological or manually curated list.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The news feed algorithm decided that post was more important than an actual friend's update."
LORE & ORIGIN
Introduced by Facebook in 2006, the News Feed initially caused significant user backlash over privacy concerns before becoming the standard content-delivery model nearly every subsequent social platform adopted.
