Facebook tests removing publishers from News Feed?unless they pay

Organic reach is already fucked. Apparently, it's going to get even more fucked.

Facebook does not exist to make other people money. This is the way free works -- give it away until you have the traffic then make the commercial beneficiaries pay.

They own the platform and they will make the rules.

Then perhaps people should stop posting content to Facebook that makes Facebook money.

Exactly. You can bet Barry-xlovecam has a personal facebook account, selling his privacy and personality to Facebook in turn to get his daily, empty narcissistic fix. Like the vast majority of personal facebook users. I also bet he gets his "news" (read: Trump obsessed daily propaganda) mostly from other equally unintelligent facebook users.

I bet i'm spot on

This. As of about two or three years ago views on new page posts sharply dropped off and FB started begging me to promote posts. Is the total removal of organic reach really going to change much for a typical page?

Anyway, the followup says this:

"The goal of this test is to understand if people prefer to have separate places for personal and public content. We will hear what people say about the experience to understand if it?s an idea worth pursuing any further. There is no current plan to roll this out beyond these test countries or to charge pages on Facebook to pay for all their distribution in News Feed or Explore. Unfortunately, some have mistakenly made that interpretation ? but that was not our intention."

As soon as they get SOLD a new platform they will.

Myspace comes to mind.

Web jewry needs putting to sleep, for good.

[FreeHugeMovies]

This is true and it's obviously to get ppl to spend more. FB is a great place to target spend marketing dollars.

True. Same applied to Friendster.

[TheDynasty]

Facebook is like a pimp who never has to pay his hoes.

Some of the hoes get charged with crimes, robbed and even killed; but new hoes just keep coming to get pimped.

Chumpanzees love fake news

[overdose]

I remember when it was still possible to just spam my content on huge related pages and get it upvoted to top... thousands of free targeted visitors x) they already put shit in the shadow at that time, quite fast, so I just made my own url shortener and registered hundreds of free domains :D

[onwebcam]

facebook will eventually be just like myspace. A fucking ghost town.

And if a newspaper or two out of business due to lack of subscriptions would that really be any different

Ever notice that one way to CURE low reach for FB pages is to leave them idle for 3 days?

Can't say I have, but the begs by Facebook for me to post something new increase
