Lyk if u cri al da taim: Why liking "Likewhores" is making them rich - Polidicks

[QUOTE=demoguy08;38220074]There is a shit-ton of money in marketing and Facebook is an absolute goldmine for advertisers[/QUOTE] Actually facebook is an absolute cesspool for advertisers. Most of them are fleeing it faster than people would flee the Titanic if they had jetpacks. There's so many bots that advertising there is borderline worthless in terms of actual viewer counts unless you have a very specific niche.

Debating trying this out, I need a new phone [editline]28th October 2012[/editline] Where is the marketing hotline where I can sell my page once it's whored out enough

I've heard of this happening with twitter followers before. Not really anything new.

I use F.B. Purity and AdBlock to hide shit like this.

Want 1OOO Friend Request? [QUOTE=darth-veger;38220054]These 'Like if you {...}' are really getting dumber by the day First i had one with 'Like if you remember this!' with a picture of Toy Story 1 box art. Like, what? :v:[/QUOTE] I saw one that showed a picture of Drake & Josh. I'm not joking.

Umm lol. "Watch and see what happens" Were those people expecting the picture to change or something?

I figured something like this was going on, so many carbon-copy pages posting the same shit to attract thousands of stupid people.

[QUOTE=markg06;38219960]This seems really bizarre that something as worthless as a facebook page can actually be sold. But brb making some like this if you want paedos to be lynched pages![/QUOTE] A few years ago Facebook changed something so that if you "Like" a page, you're automatically subscribed to it (much to the ire of Facebook users whose front pages were spammed with thousands of useless posts from bands and movies). In SEO, you'd measure the value of a particular asset based on how many people see it. A Facebook page "Liked" by over 1,000,000 people would be pretty valuable, even if most would unsub upon seeing an ad for shitty software.

Lik dis if u think Max is a bad mod. If I had a 100 dollars for every agree, then I'd be rich. Anyways Max is a regular mod, and he doesn't do anything much. Bandwagon sure causes profit.

ok how the fuck does this make these people "cyberscammers" and "cyber criminals" who are they scamming exactly? are you trying to tell me people really believe the shit they like is going to happen? are they taking someone's precious time?

Up till then you can say that a user willingly accepts every other part of the profile, such as liking the photo. Then the user gets an ad because that profile gets sold. The user doesn't get a chance to reject the ad until they already see at least one.

was expecting a comment in the article pic DO A FLIP

Man, these guys knew what was up before the rest of us! Granted; if I had the chance at a shot of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars for posting "like me" on facebook, you bet your ass I would.

[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;38220890]Actually it can´t always be avoided, I knew someone that didn´t smoke, didn´t drink, he was vegatarian, and he sported everyday, he had an overal good health. He died of cancer aswell.[/QUOTE] Yeah, there's always the case of just bad fucking luck. Sorry to hear that.

[QUOTE=Valnar;38222543]You would do something clearly unethical just for money?[/QUOTE] hows that unethical in any way

Like, what? :v:[/QUOTE] I've seen one that was "Like this if you have an 'e' in your name". Swear to god I wanted to punch my monitor right then and there.

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;38222456]Yeah, there's always the case of just bad fucking luck. Sorry to hear that.[/QUOTE] Not a problem, just wanted to state a fact.

[quote]Pages with 100,000 likes can be sold for $200[/quote] That return is terrible.

I once saw one, "like dis or u wil die" with pictures of maggots.

[QUOTE=CaptainFluffy;38223913]I've seen one that was "Like this if you have an 'e' in your name". Swear to god I wanted to punch my monitor right then and there.[/QUOTE] Well, how much of the name do they want? I don't have an E until you get to my middle names
