FYI, what was reported was that Facebook was previously weighting all emoji reactions at 5 times the like button, but not specifically the angry reaction.

By the end of last year, they changed it so the angry reaction specifically gets a zero bonus, but love/sad still get boosted. Apparently this did not affect engagement.

I got this all from the Washington Post article on the subject.

It’s funny that FB’s scoring algorithm probably got less design effort and less ‘play testing’ than the average LoL update.
