I understand the usefulness of social media, and I understand the need for a business to make a profit, but when the pursuit of that profit bankrupts the value that the business provides it doesnt make any sense. Over the past year in particular I have noticed less and less posts showing up in my news feed on facebook, and also on the 'fan page' that i maintain has been rendered basically useless unless I pay to promote it, so it just got me to thinking on how facebook plans to eliminate a lot of its value and still keep the average person interested in using it anymore. And like I said in the article, probably the largest issue I have is that a business I've never liked or have a desire to like is able to post on my feed because they dropped $300 on a post. That's total BS and is going to forsure turn off users. I could go on and onnnn about this, hah.
In the end I think this will be a great short-term revenue stream for facebook, but will be the ruin of the company in the long-term as it's users leave for greener pastures.
