But even they were horrified that these are, in fact, genetically inbred carrots from Norfolk.\r\n\r\n"We have now removed them from the shelves."\r\n\r\nShopper Lorraine Fisher, 34, was disgusted.

Feel free to share (ironically, on Facebook)</strong>\r\n\r\nFacebook has finally confirmed it is changing its algorithm so that pages you made the conscious decision to \'Like\' and follow - media, your favourite restaurants, shops, the Suffolk Gazette - will very rarely appear in your news feed anymore. Instead you will see endless posts from your \'friends\' about where they are going on holiday, what they had for breakfast, and how well their kids are doing at school.\r\n\r\nThis media outlet - we may be spoof and satire news, but we are still media - will suffer as a result, because so many of our loyal readers follow our fun stories on the Suffolk Gazette by looking out for them on their news feed, which they have chosen to do by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette/">liking our Facebook page</a>.\r\n\r\nNow they won\'t see those stories, or only very rarely, and the result for us and many businesses will be a dramatic drop in visibility, engagement, readership, and therefore revenue.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn truth, we have seen this coming from a mile off. Back in April, maybe 95% of our traffic was referred by Facebook because so many people were seeing and then liking and sharing our posts. They did so because they found them funny, and their friends then got a laugh as well. It is one of the reasons we all like social media.\r\n\r\nThis month so far, only around 60% of our traffic is being referred from Mark Zuckerberg\'s Facebook empire - and the total numbers are down considerably.\r\n\r\nFor the <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/about/">Suffolk Gazette</a> this is not a disaster. This is a fun site, a personal blog, written and produced in my spare time. It is not my job, and I do not rely on any income from it.\r\n\r\nBut for other media institutions - actually any business that uses Facebook - it is really serious.\r\n\r\nImagine a real online newspaper, or online magazine, losing a huge chunk of its readers from Facebook. Imagine losing 50% of revenues at a stroke, maybe more, because visitor numbers were down, and its digital advertising was not being seen.\r\n\r\nFor many, this Facebook policy shift will be financially unbearable, and they will fold.\r\n\r\nAnd who will be sorry then? The readers? Probably. The staff? Absolutely. But you can add Facebook to the list as well. Why? Because Facebook\'s own income relies a lot on these same businesses. How? It charges them for \'sponsored posts\' - ironically now a way of forcing a post onto the news feed so people actually see it - and also it makes huge sums from its own Facebook advertising network, the ads you will see on any Facebook Instant Article post.\r\n\r\nFacebook spent years teasing business to adjust how it produced - and, yes - marketed its content. The number of articles, videos, live videos and photos from these outlets increased beyond recognition as a result, as did the contents of Mark Zuckerberg\'s wallet. Now it has pulled the rug from under our feet.\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nThe <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com">Suffolk Gazette</a> will continue to publish as normal - there are only a few costs which I soak up, and I have the help of <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/">donations from some brilliant readers</a> and a small advertising income. I can afford to keep going, and I still have a large number of readers, but there will be many publishers who cannot.\r\n\r\nSo while you are now avoiding Fake News, one of the key drivers behind Facebook\'s change in policy, you are also missing out on genuine news and many of the things you used to enjoy on Facebook.\r\n\r\nBut at least you\'ll see relentless posts about how your friends are apparently having a much more exciting life than you.\r\n\r\n<h2><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/\'); return false;">Click here to support the Suffolk Gazette Beer Fund!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]</h2>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette/">Join our witty Suffolk Gazette Facebook page community.</a></h2>', 'OPINION: Facebook\'s shifting News Feed policy - enjoy your friends\' breakfast', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '8149-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-28 19:27:55', '2018-01-28 19:27:55', '', 8149, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/8149-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

I run the Suffolk Gazette as a spare-time hobby... but for larger sites like the Daily Mash this is potentially far more serious.\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nI\'m always surprised when anyone falls for one of our stories and, as regular readers know, gobsmacked when the so-called mainstream media also get taken in and reproduce them without any fact-checking whatsoever. But these are not stories that could trouble an election result, or damage third parties. Here are some of our stories that got reproduced as "real news" by newspapers and magazines, and I don\'t think Facebook or Google need be troubled by them...\r\n\r\n- <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/morris-dancers-blind-footballers-brawl/">Morris dancers and blind football team in mass brawl</a>\r\n- <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/pensioner-locked-in-loo/">Suffolk pensioner stuck in a toilet for four days, knits scarf</a>\r\n- <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/suffolk-man-sex-with-tractors/">Suffolk man admits having sex with 450 tractors</a>\r\n\r\nIt is also true that I published many stories during the lead up to the US election, but revealing that a <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/donald-trump-hair-thatcher/">Suffolk thatcher had been hired to repair Donald Trump\'s hair</a> probably did not persuade a bloke in Texas to vote for him.\r\n\r\nAnd while today I ran a story about a <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/chocolate-labrador-trampoline/">chocolate labrador that destroyed the family trampoline</a> after watching the John Lewis advert, I don\'t think this shifted political opinion in the UK.\r\n\r\nWhile Facebook and Google\'s fake news intentions might be welcomed, the consequences are far more wide-reaching. If you\'re reading this, you likely already follow us on Facebook and enjoy our stories. This might be considerably harder if the lines between fake and spoof/satire are blurred - and Facebook prevents you from reading us at all.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/donations/suffolk-gazette-beer-fund/">Please support my running costs by clicking here and buying me a beer!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]', 'Collateral damage of Facebook\'s fake news clampdown', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5170-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-29 11:05:02', '2018-01-29 11:05:02', '', 5170, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/5170-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);
