title: Don't buy fans: How broadcasters can get the most out of Facebook, without having to pay to promote posts

You might have seen a video explaining how buying likes from Facebook can actually hurt your ability to reach your audience. It's true: Click farmers spend hours trying to like pages for which they'll never engage. And, savvy social media analysts note the less people engage with your posts, the lower in priority Facebook will rank your posts, and fewer people will see them broadly. Then, if you want anyone to see your posts, you wind up paying Facebook to promote posts to people who've already asked to see your content. Not a fun situation.

@pauliooj on rails:

"It's sort of like this... Imagine you want to travel to Mars. First you ask a C-style programming environment, and get the answer: "Sure you can. You should compute an optimal trajectory. And get enough liquid oxygen to use as fuel, obviously. And build a launching pad... Preferably near the equator. And a few other things." Then you ask a Rails-style environment. The answer is: "Mars? Yeah, that's easy. You should go to Times Square at 1.34 am on a Wednesday and wear a purple hat with black dots. An alien ship will pick you up there and take care of the rest.""

Correlation != causation. The reason for all those things is because the auto industry failed to adapt to technology changes, leaving a huge hole in a place that was used to having a lot of affluent workers. That means the barbershop stops getting customers, so does the grocery store, etc.

I imagine silicon valley could look just like detroit if all of the sudden all the companies just hit "pause" and stopped building new cool things.

The auto industry got its butt handed to itself by Japan's innovative manufacturing techniques.

To blame the democrats exclusively for what are clearly economic woes is not accurate at best, and misinforms others, at worst. If republicans are great, we should celebrate the places where they actually are great, instead of taking pot shots at loosely correlated facts, and viewing the democrats as "the other guys, who clearly are morons." Democrats often do the same to republicans, which is actually just the politician's way of getting what they want: Dehumanizing the other guy
