PaulWarning Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 On my bands facebook page we suddenly lost 14 likes in one day, now I know some people cancel there likes for various reasons but to lose 14 in one day seems a bit much, we can't have upset that many people in one day surely, is it something to do with Facebook?

ped Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Something to do with facebook removing as bunch of fake accounts recently I think. Iirc it says something about it if you look at your stats page? Quote

[/quote]right I've found it, they've removed a load of likes from deactivated accounts, I always thought they were removed at the time the account was deactivated though, they certainly were when our drummer deactivated his, happened straight away Quote

[/quote]Well I wouldn't bother with it if it wasn't for the band, most of time it's used by sado's trying to convince everybody else what a wonderful life they've got, when, if it was, they wouldn't be wasting their time on FB, rant over, well I have just got back from the pub, perhaps I ought to put that on FB lol Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Lol, I did concider a bass player page but I'm busy enough without it, we do have a group for the jam night we run though even though I cant see it or post on it. Quote
icastle Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I heard an interesting programme on Radio 4 today talking social media, and Facebook in particular. It was reported that the trend to share every part of your life in intimate detail with a bunch of, what are essentially, strangers has been steadily losing its appeal for some time. It was mentioned that younger users are starting to realise that bullying can be an issue and that what they say 'now' may come back and haunt them in the future in both personal and career spheres. Got to say that its something that I've never been tempted to get involved with, but I can be a bit of a luddite when it suits me. Quote

Roger2611 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 We have had the same recently with sways of 20 or 30 likes in a day, then suddenly half of the disappear again a couple of days later, our guitarist looks after the page so can see the trends, we had a couple of days of getting 30 or 40 likes a day from Mexico, then is stops and the following day we stated getting loads of likes in India, then London....strangely we haven't played in any of these places (although the first tour is looking interesting) We have no idea how or why we are getting these likes...all very strange if you ask me Quote
planer Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 'Facebook likes disappearing' - oh if only it would! Quote
xgsjx Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I've just had a look at our insight on FB & we've had a few unlikes on our Torta page, but the likes outweigh it. On another note, we got a message that was supposedly from facebook, but on closer inspection, turned out to be spam. We reported it, but here's what it said, so be wary of similar. https://www.facebook.com/tortacouture/photos/pb.235686989792713.-2207520000.1426498710./1024003670961037/?type=3&theater Quote
