No, it does my mean they want to see a constant stream of every promotion and sale you offer. It means that they liked _one thing_ and your page is no different than the thousand other things I have liked last month. You don't have some entitlement to space on my feed. If I am interested then a constant stream of likes to your content will keep you in view. If you convinced me and ten thousand others to like a single cat picture that does not mean I want to see anything else you post. I may like your television advertisement, but that is not why I turn on the tv or select a particular channel.
- sergiotapia 13y agoYou're confused. A like _for_ a page is not the same as a like on a _single post_.
- evgen 13y agoNo, you are the one who is confused here. A like for a page, similar to a like on a single post, is not permission to spam my news feed. If I wanted to subscribe to your updates I would actually, you know, subscribe. A like is a coarse-granularity indication that I have some interest in your page, but just like everything else I opted to "like" it is one indicator among many that should be used to build my feed.
- trevelyan 13y agoThe problem with Facebook's behavior is not that their changes insulate you from spam so much that they may encourage it: the new equilibrium for spammers being not to publish less so much as to ramp up publication and reach the same number of people through volume. Meanwhile, smaller publishers who create limited volumes of good content are less likely to bother at all.
