This has been a long time coming. Facebook went too far, and they did finally push too hard. Creating divides is great for growth early on, but if you do nothing to repair the rifts you make, the structure cannot continue to stand.

His ruthlessness, and the change in facebook as it becomes something annoying and self serving, rather than serving the needs of its users who try to connect to each other. Facebook now charges pages to show stuff to users who've liked it - indicating that they ALREADY want to see things from that page.

This sort of extortionist double dipping is the kind of thing which ruins a social network. This, along with numerous privacy violations, ridiculous degrees of data mining, and more... good riddance.
