Facebook owns you - Page 8

Glatt, pages that have lots of likes, comments or responses to their posts can be sold. The subject or theme of the page is then changed to a commercial product which automatically has a "following". That's how I understand it, anyway ...

I still don't understand it. If I comment on that city post, and the page is later sold and the name changed, do the new owners have my contact info and spam me through messaging?

I think the bigger goal is that they have a legitimate-looking page with a fan base. How would you like to run, say, the Wheaties facebook page with a half-dozen "fans?" It's embarrassing from a PR perspective, better not to have a page at all than to have a page with a paltry number of fans. Plus, people are herd animals, so if they look at a page that has 100,000 likes, they are not only more likely to think the product is good, they are more likely to click "like" themselves as well.

Have you tried Wheaties?

Do the people who comment with a city name that doesn't contain the letter A also go on to "like" the page after they make their comment?

Sure, about as equally-tasteless as corn flakes.

Vaguely reminiscent of Russian Orthodox choirs, but without the sopranos. Not a bad attempt, but lacking. It needs a four-part choir with pipes.
