RE: The Scam that is FACEBOOK!

haha I know Sacha. The past 3 weeks since steemit I've barely set foot on that platform. I haven't totally given it up, but they can suck an egg.

It's like it was all open country on the interwebs and then FB created these great highways so that we all could get a lot of traffic and drive to friends, family and fans. Then there was Pages. Slowly they tighten their choke hold on us. Like now only 5% of my followers get to see what I post. Like how the hell do u even choose who sees and who doesn't FB? When you pay to boost a post it's like you get all these random new people that see your page. Sure that could be good, maybe if they actually like it in the first place. However what about my actual fans. I mean for me as a fan myself I like a page coz I want to see the posts. I mean imagine you subscribe to an RSS feed or email newsletter to some blog or News paper and you only get 5% of them. WFT Facebook. Putting up roadblocks and toll booths. Mining our data and the nerve to charge us for it. I hope it burns!!

You are so right with everything you've said here - I mean as an actual subscriber you should be bummed at facebook for letting you miss out on content you've told them you want to see! But I don't think there is an answer to the problem, so I'll move on and put my energy into Steemit :)
