“Our success is built on getting people the stories that matter to them most,”

said Adam Mosseri, vice president of product management at Facebook.

“If you could look through thousands of stories every day and choose the 10 that were most important to you, which would they be? The answer should be your News Feed. It is subjective, personal, and unique — and defines the spirit of what we hope to achieve.”

The changes will affect all types of content posted by publishers, including links, videos, live videos and photos.
