“Again, I see nothing wrong with purchasing a promoted post if that means it’s pushed to the top of the feed in a very transparent manner — the way Google ads appear at the top of search results, or promoted posts appear at the top of the Tumblr dash. That’s advertising — a way for brands to cut through the noise of the web and deliver a paid message. Facebook’s move is more like pay-to-play radio. It already controls the noise, and makes you pay on top of it. That’s editorially unsound.” Facebook Is Rigged: Why Personal Promoted Posts Are Bad for Users
