The house and techno DJ says he will never consider paying for reach
Move D has slammed Facebook’s move towards paid reach in a damning status update. The house and techno producer criticises Facebook for making money from other people’s hard work and blocking artists reach to their fans.
Read the statement in full below:
“dear facebook,
no, i will never consider paying 4€ to promote my page.
i don’t believe in bought likes nor mass invitations.
nevertheless, you are making millions, if not billions on ads that people are buying because WE deliver content that’s worthwhile and thereby create all this traffic and income for you.
in return, i would totally expect that all people who are following a cartain artist / page, would see those updates on their news stream – and not only a small fraction of followers, as it is in reality…
and what’s the point in following an artists, if you don’t even automatically see their news, but unwanted random ads instead?
looking at this from my perspective makes your slogan “for free and always will be” sound like a lie and people will feel that and look for alternatives…
rant over”
