I'm not a fan of social login buttons, but I've visited a lot more brand pages on FB than I have product individual sites, usually because those FB pages are running a promotion where you "like" them and then fill in a form to get some product for free. Sometimes I'll unlike them afterwards, but sometimes I leave my "like" as-is. However, neither FB nor branded product sites have really influenced my purchasing decisions. What does? A product that I research via the web, consumer reports, or Amazon ratings and determine is good, a product that is on sale or is more attractive or just "looks" better (or maybe even has a higher price), and for services and applications, I do the same- look at reviews and determine if there is a free product or service that I feel comfortable using instead.

Marketing and ads are a HUGE con game, as people mostly ignore them.
