Facebook's "See Less" Feature Is Good for Users, Not So Good For Engagement

When you’re a sprawling mega-network like Facebook, it’s important that your product serve as many use cases as possible. Facebook has been expanding into other territories, but the main news feed is still the first interface point for many.

“If you see a story you’re not interested in or don’t want to see, you can tap the arrow in the top right of that story to hide it… When you hide a story you’ll have the option to ask to see less from that person or Page,” an official Facebook blog post states.
