Why quizzes are increasingly being perceived as spam on Facebook newsfeed

Why quizzes seem to increase



  1. Platform: Facebook redesigned its newsfeed that allows more contents to be published

  2. Technical ease: Quiz creation platform is available so it’s easy to create new quizzes

  3. Workflow: The applications publish the quiz’s result and users might not really know which step publishes the news onto feeds

  4. Savviness: Some users might not know how newsfeed works


If you don’t like seeing quizzes flood your newsfeed


Simply use the Hide function by hovering your mouse over a feed item. Please note that you can either hide the application or hide the person.


You can unhide anytime by clicking “Edit Options” on the bottom right corner of your newsfeed.


I personally hide applications, not people. I leave, however, Enneagram and those backed by certain scientific theories.


Is it a wrong move by Facebook?



  1. Facebook earns commissions from applications’ income

  2. Some don’t like the new design, others do

  3. Facebook architecture is flexible, they can change course anytime


How about you? How do you feel about the newsfeed, especially the quizzes and games?
