The Facebook Mom Problem Is Real. My mom loves me. But she also “likes” me—a lot. And apparently, when she does so on Facebook, it’s hurting my chances of becoming the next viral sensation. On his blog, engineer Chris Aldrich explains what he calls The Facebook Algorithm Mom Problem. When you post something on Facebook, and your mom is the first to like it (and how can she not?
Facebook thinks it’s a family- related piece of content and sets the audience accordingly. Facebook’s process for determining what goes into your News Feed is frustratingly opaque.

The algorithm narrows the presentation of the content down to very close family. Then my mom’s sister sees it and clicks “like” moments later. Now Facebook’s algorithm has created a self- fulfilling prophesy and further narrows the audience of my post.

At the end of the day, or as soon as it seems as though the post reached its maximum audience, change the audience settings to “friends” or “public.” Aldrich has been doing this, and has been seeing more impressions on his posts.

Grasse Tyson- hosted Cosmos revival to the screen. The Orville shots clearly show a love for the TV sci- fi aesthetic, and I am clearly not alone in thinking the campy look of the uniforms, bridge, and props echoes the look of the immortal Galaxy Quest. As The Verge points out, that iconic space spoof never quite made the jump from the big screen down to the small, despite repeated efforts. It could still happen, but in the meantime we'll have Mac.
