Actually I suspect a not insignificant number of people aren't even aware of Facebook's edge-rank shenanigans. I have lost count of the number of times I have had to point out, even to techy friends, that you can reset the sort to most recent (over and over, thanks Facebook). This normally comes after people complaining they didn't see some post or another from a friend/family member, because Facebook decided it wasn't "popular" enough. Then again most of my friends are the kind that only friend actual friends, if they had feeds 800 people deep I suspect Facebook culling most posts would be appreciated. The only thing that annoys me is constantly having to reset it, you'd think after N times they would take the signal of "your edge-rank trimming is abysmal", but no.
