Systems and methods for providing information regarding future content

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, by a computing system, a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided in a feed of a user of a social networking system based at least in part on quality of the content items; and

causing, by the computing system, generation of a preview screen to display information to assist the user in a determination about whether to assent to provision of content items published by the entity in the feed of the user, the information including the frequency at which content items published by the entity are to be provided for the user, the preview screen including a description section, an example section to display examples of content items previously published by the entity, and a link for the user to assent to the provision of the content items.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the information further includes at least one media type of the content items published by the entity.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the information further includes at least one topic of the content items published by the entity.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the information further includes examples of content items previously published by the entity.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one media type of the content items published by the entity.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one topic of the content items published by the entity.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided is based at least in part on at least one of historical publication of content items by the entity, historical engagement by a general audience with a page associated with the entity, and other feed inventory of the user.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the determining a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided further comprises:

assigning values to each of the at least one of the historical publication of content items by the entity, the historical engagement by a general audience with a page associated with the entity, the quality of the content items, and the other feed inventory of the user;

assigning a weight to each of the values to generate weighted values; and

aggregating the weighted values.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining examples of content items previously published by the entity.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the determining examples of content items previously published by the entity comprises:

identifying a set of candidate content items from each of most recent content items published by the entity, most typical content items published by the entity, and content items published by the entity most relevant to the user.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

determining a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided in a feed of a user of a social networking system based at least in part on quality of the content items; and

causing generation of a preview screen to display information to assist the user in a determination about whether to assent to provision of content items published by the entity in the feed of the user, the information including the frequency at which content items published by the entity are to be provided for the user, the preview screen including a description section, an example section to display examples of content items previously published by the entity, and a link for the user to assent to the provision of the content items.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the information further includes at least one media type of the content items published by the entity.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the information further includes at least one topic of the content items published by the entity.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the information further includes examples of content items previously published by the entity.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determining a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided is based at least in part on at least one of historical publication of content items by the entity, historical engagement by a general audience with a page associated with the entity, and other feed inventory of the user.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

determining a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided in a feed of a user of a social networking system based at least in part on quality of the content items; and

causing generation of a preview screen to display information to assist the user in a determination about whether to assent to provision of content items published by the entity in the feed of the user, the information including the frequency at which content items published by the entity are to be provided for the user, the preview screen including a description section, an example section to display examples of content items previously published by the entity, and a link for the user to assent to the provision of the content items.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the information further includes at least one media type of the content items published by the entity.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the information further includes at least one topic of the content items published by the entity.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the information further includes examples of content items previously published by the entity.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the determining a frequency at which content items published by an entity are to be provided is based at least in part on at least one of historical publication of content items by the entity, historical engagement by a general audience with a page associated with the entity, and other feed inventory of the user.
