Starting next year, brands have to pay up or shut up


The social network announced the changes in a blog post on Friday, as it takes another step to declutter the News Feed.

We’re not talking official businesses and individual ads; we’re talking the overly promotional status updates that come from pages you like.

That includes posts that promote a product or app, push people to enter promotions and sweepstakes with no real context and those that reuse the same content from ads.

Of course, if the ads are paid for then Facebook will back off.

The changes come after a Facebook survey asked 500,000 users how the News Feed can be improved, which showed that people want to see more of their friends' status updates and less promotional content.

The company stresses that the clear-out will not increase the number of ads you see on the News Feed, instead it will just make everything more relevant.

Now it won’t matter whether a page has hundreds of thousands of likes or not; as of January 2015 you can’t share promotional content for free.
