Does FB Prophet generated seasonality assume possible bias by historic periods that are outliers?

Description

Hi gents.
Imagine we have some really strong moves on the historic data (think BTC 2017 or market moves in October 2008), then
1) when we generate yearly seasonality with FB Prophet, would that year effect the result OR the algorithm is smart enough to remove the outliers?
2) how about monthly seasonality?

Thanks!
