maybe i'm mistakenly putting likes and shares mixed in with clicks to an external website, which definitely does give money to people who run facebook pages. that's why you have clickbait headlines and "satire" sites that publish bullshit stories

as for articles, i don't have any handy

This one is a few years old but the idea is that you can build up a page with a lot of likes and shares etc so that it appears to be more popular, then sell the page to a business who now don't have to go to the time and trouble of advertising the product/service since it is already 'popular' and followed by many people.

When you like a page that page owner sees where you came from. "Like button " is literally a form of consent.

Did you buy that story, Anderron? It seems like you're using that emoticon as if that post actually happened and is about a real little girl. But if you mean "little angel" as in some church group, or religious organisation of some sort, making up an anectdote as a means to promote Big J/Cristianity then, yeah, that'd be the "little angel." Otherwise it's, nahhh man, I seriously doubt that was an actual incident that happened (outside of marketing's imagination).

Look at the first sentence in the post and then the second last sentence. For the story to be factual it's got some big problems there; those just doesn't add up at all, it doesn't make sense. I don't believe that post to be anything more than religion spreading religion... upon little "angel wings" of bright ideas at best.

Is that a grown rear end man bragging about eating 600 calories of food for supper like he's some kind of metabolic titan? Or is it a troll post claiming he can eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants, but despite that he chooses to eat like an 8 year old. Both in food choice and caloric intake.
