I used to run a small bar. We spent thousands of dollars building up our Facebook likes to around 4000 people. Then Facebook started deliberately throttling our access so that we had to pay to reach the people we had collected. People that, in part, stayed in Facebook, or came to it, because it gave them information about small businesses like us. If we had been told upfront that we would only get access if we paid perhaps we wouldn't have put in the effort. But we weren't. There were other ways to upsell us which would have maintained trust and built a respectful relationship. Instead they abused the people who helped them, and sold their mendacity as a virtue. I don't do that business any more, but I really feel for these small business people who, in most cases, are struggling to get by, and who need support, not abuse from a faceless, greedy corporation.
