For example a newly created Page might post dozens of affiliate links. As a result organic reach drops for real creators. Therefore limiting links reduces noise and helps signals rise.<\/p>\n

For instance a viral post with many external links often draws angry comments and low time on site. Thus Facebook uses limits to keep content focused and fast.<\/p>\n
