The problem with Facebook is the same feeling I get when any random store, event or web form asks for an E-mail address: “oh great, what unsolicited crap will you start sending me?”. And it is the same mentality that led to ad-blocking. If entities could be trusted not to be total jerks with over-marketing, maybe people would share and Like things more. Instead, a simple “Like” is virtually guaranteed to result in new spam. A very simple thing Facebook could do: mandate that each Page (and even itself) may not send more than one message per MONTH. Period. And set a maximum length. Hire some editing people if you must, and make that message count. Don’t just assume you can send hourly updates to all your “followers” as if they care more about you than their own families.
