a timeline is an algorithm?

Wait until people start gaming the timeline based algorithm by deleting and re-posting images, so they stay at the top slot.

When does "no algorithm" become an algorithm? When you add ML?




In the common language used these days, "the algorithm" refers to the sorting/reranking companies like Facebook and now Twitter do to attempt to show you posts you're most likely to engage with. I think the vast majority of people reading that Glass has "no algorithm" will understand this.
