Founder of new satire site Double Bay Today says comedy can beat Facebook’s news feed changes
Simon Palan, the founder of four-week-old satire site Double Bay Today, has told Mumbrella he expects comedy pages will better navigate Facebook’s news feed changes than traditional news outlets and brands.
Speaking exclusively to Mumbrella, Palan explained how his “pieces do get a lot of engagement because people tag their friends in it. I think Double Day Today might be able to navigate the changes somewhat.”
Some readers have mistaken the satirical site as a real news outlet
Is it supposed to be funny?
How many satirical sites can there be..?
At least he didn’t call it The Double Bay Advocate..
A 4 week old satirical site no one has ever heard of is newsworthy?
I know January is quiet and all but….

Facebook Algorithm Change Causes Satirical CEO’S Algorithmic Aneurysm
A satirical website founder’s feverish fondness for Facebook traffic is believed to have been a key contributing factor in a disturbing incident that occurred yesterday .
Witnesses said that the man first began acting strangely when he appeared unable to seamlessly use the word algorithm in a sentence, whilst discussing how buoyantly resistant his website’s business model was to recent changes in Facebook’s algorithm.
“His left eye began twitching and then his face turned blue,” said one witness. “I thought he was going to explode, he looked like Violet Beauregarde.”
The man then began foaming at the mouth before he collapsed to the ground writhing and shouting, “algorithm, algorithm, algorithm” at any passers-by.
A video clip of the incident posted on Facebook received several likes and two shares and is believed to have reached almost three thousand people.
Hah this comment is way too authentic to have not come from betoota. Quality.
