Appearance of so many Friends’ ‘Likes’ in my Timeline on FaceBook has become EXTREMELY ANNOYING lately… Whether you hold Conservative or Liberal views and how strongly, I really don’t care.
I have tired of seeing every political Like that each Friend has made one way or the other. Looking at the popular vote, America is about 50/50. If you want to politicize our friendship and are using FaceBook to do that, know right now I will be seeing fewer and fewer of your posts. Following is a short excerpt from a LONG interweb article that shows how Likes AND Shares also drive more advertising to our friends pages.
Read it or not, it is long, but stop liking things to beat your chest or bemoan the political direction our democracy has or taken. Take that crap off my FaceBook Timeline… or I will. If I have not lost you already, here is that short excerpt and the URL so you may see how you are earning FaceBook more and more money and flooding your friends’ Timelines with more and more ads.;
“The bottom line: Just know what you’re getting into…
The truth is that Facebook is a free service to users, and it needs to make money somehow, and that money will be made using your data. The question is whether Facebook uses it or they give it to someone else to use, and how that information is used.”
The moral of the story here is to be careful with the things you like, because it’s not just things you share that end up in your friends’ news feeds. Since you can’t even go to your profile to see what’s been shared on your behalf, it’s impossible to tell until someone pings you to ask why you’ve been liking so many posts from one particular Facebook group lately, or why the only thing you seem to share these days are someone else’s photos.
Of course, stay on top of your privacy settings, the post visibility of apps you use (remember: “Only Me” is your friend,) watch what you click “Share” on. Oh, and of course: Every time Facebook makes an arcane change with nebulous results, make sure to update them accordingly.”
