### AI overview

The article argues that Facebook's design regressed as it replaced a predictable chronological feed with opaque algorithmic ranking and accumulated features that fragmented the experience. It presents predictability, transparency, usability, and user control as essential UX principles.

### Source excerpt

Facebook didn't get worse overnight--it optimized itself into confusion. What started as the clearest social experience on the web slowly became a noisy, unpredictable system users no longer fully understand. This is what happens when engagement wins over usability--and it's a warning for every designer building products today.
