Ya this has been going on for a minute now.  Fans can still add it to their interest list as well and it will show up.  But yes it's BS, we have over 100k friends between our two pages.  I have paid for some posts to hit more people and it sucks to do that but it is really effective.  It pays back very easily I have noticed.

I thought I noticed something like that going on.  I too have paid for posts.  I'm not an avid user though. 

I never like facebook for business thing as I don't like having something that's become so important out of your direct control.  I mean, you can't even contact them if there is an issue, that's crazy.  This is crazier and will be their undoing if they don't fix it.

I doubt it will crumble real soon.  But I am sure something will replace facebook some day.  But right now it is SO widely integrated with phones/tvs/computers/etc it will be awhile before it phases out for the new flavor.

I noticed a big change in FB since they went public. As just a personal user all of a sudden I get crappy advert posts, things I would supposedly like etc. it's especially worse with FB Mobil, on my iPad I get more adverts in my news feed than my friends and family posts.

I saw a bunch of posts from people not just businesses being pissed the stuff they like is not showing up in their timeline.
If enough users start using google+ more Facebook will change up their crap.
