    This is even better if you’ve ever looked at the comments on the ads that have them enabled.

    Also, why would any company buy ad space when they can buy accounts and astroturf? I forget the corporatized name for it, but studies have shown that just bringing your brand up in discussion on social media is often much more effective than paying for ad space.

      • viral marketing - when corporate relies on people advertising its product, for free
      • native advertisement - when corporate is the one doing the ad, but they disguise it as actual content

      Facebook is particularly good at algorithmically deprioritizing unpromoted traffic. If they REALLY want to get engagement, they need to post stuff like Reddit is full of smart people, only 1 in 10,000 will be able to solve this math problem! 1+7 / 0 ^2 * 8 :P
