Facebook Sweep Of Fake Names

[dandoolittle]

it looks like Facebook are doing another sweep of fake names that are using personal profiles, not set up as a page.

So, if you're using your vlogging name on Facebook, and set up as a personal account, you may get banned unless you can prove its your real name.

Be warned

They're doing to this to get people to create pages, because they can offer to "boost" your post (read: advertise) for a small sum of virgin blood (read: money), but you don't have to if you don't want to.

That's what I think anyway.

 

[dandoolittle]

Of course and I would as well

Problem is Facebook Pages are shit, kinda given up on Facebook now a days it seems to be going backwards in the social media scale, tweeter is way more fun and entertaining.

I just have my twitter posts automatically update my facebook page, and pretty much ignore facebook

Facebook has gotten more cumbersome to use, especially on mobile. Android and IOS have removed the "news feed" from the pages app and I do most of my posting as a page. They also bury my original posts (such as YouTube vids) to try and force me to pay them to "boost" the post. I do get some traffic from FB on my videos, because I can still tag a bunch of people in the comments, but once my channel starts generating enough traffic on its own, I'm probably going to phase out FB.

I have a FB page but the only posts are reposts from my Twitter and Instagram. To be honest facebook seems quite dead as a motovlogging medium. I have 2 likes on FB after about 6 weeks. I had more than that within the first hour on Twitter and IG

I only get annoyed when people say "hashtag" out loud when talking as if they are actually hashtagging something.

Didn't you have issues with FB some time ago?

Ages ago. Told me I wasn't a real boy...

They deactivated the account, and I could log in only to download the data, and then I could convert to a page. I didn't bother though. I'm guessing a page needs attaching to a bona fide account?

Youtube pages can do more than the Facebook versions haha

To be honest, to this date I have no clue how Twitter works, and have zero F's to care about it.

You can join as a page on its own.

Same here.
Will keep FB active and running.
And if they decided to ban it, to shame, end of that.

Got more important stuff going on

I only do it as my close friends and family can follow it to get updates. None of them really use YouTube directly.

its a really easy and good way to get into the motovlogging circles.
