About 40 percent of traffic in the public World Wide Web (which is by far the biggest part of the internet) is created by automated programs (bots, spiders, algorithms, etc). Meanwhile – and unfortunaly – also many real users in the World Wide Web use bot-based programs, e.g. special feed readers.

Honestly why does anybody in the US care at all about the royal wedding? WHY??? AND GOOGLE NEWS WHY IS THIS THE TOP HEADLINE LOOK RIGHT BELOW IT. And before you start talking to me about algorithms, I haven’t read anything about this stupid wedding so it’s not that. #h20stilloff
@googlenews so basically you just erased all my customized settings that I chose for the types of news articles that I want to read, and now you’ve decided you (i.e. you’re algorithm) already know exactly what I want to read, and I don’t get a say at all. #bringcustomizationback
@googledrive WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO GOOGLE DRIVE?!? Holy crap that GIANT freaking „+New“ is INCREDIBLY ugly and doesn’t fit with the rest of the UI at ALL. It looked perfect before. Why do you keep trying to fix what isn’t broken?!
Dear @googlenews, When I ask for „Science“ headlines in my news feed, I don’t want this kind of total crap. Fix your algorithms. This belongs in the feed of people who want „Pseudoscience“ not „Science.“
On Monday, we released a broad core algorithm update, as we routinely do throughout the year. For background and advice about these, see our tweet from last month:
