Now that it is possible to promote your own posts on facebook..
expect algorithms that make it less likely for a friend to see a post that has not been promoted.
Your newsfeed will be nothing but, "brands and adverts." and instead of your friends actually seeing what you have written, facebook will find all sorts of ways to make you irrelevant...
I know they've been doing this anyways.. but still...
whatever

I don't like the way Facebook is moving these days. Too much info in there and like you say, it's an advertisment platform, not a social site. THIS is a social website - Facebook is not, anymore.

I've tried promoting posts on my business page. To be honest I'm pissed to begin with that my posts only reach about 19% of my audience. I built up most of my page's likes through paid ads - so, having paid for those likes, I have to pay AGAIN in order to feed them content? Sucks big time. But, they're a private business, they're allowed to run their company how they choose, and I have the option to take it or leave it.
So I promoted some posts. Just tried it with $5 or $10 promotions. I mean they work and all.....and the posts got 10x as many likes and they ordinarily would, and I picked up some new page likes in the process (from friends of followers seeing the posts), but like Linear Phase says, I have a feeling that the non-promoted posts are getting a smaller audience than they were, simply because I have embarked on a couple of paid campaigns. I need to start checking the figures.

YMMV.

You can already pick up any every social disease known to man here. Or, did I just make that up?

Seems to me that FB still is what you make it, to a certain extent, of course.
I have, say, 85 contacts. Some are on my restricted list and I've removed from my Newsfeed. For some I receive updates only once in a while. Then there's a few closer friends who are part of an exclusive list w/ an all access pass to my stuff and my Newsfeed is set so that I receive every update from them.
I also have a bunch of subgroups - people from Montreal, people from Quebec, Musician buddies, etc... These sub-lists allow me to browse by specific groups of friends and have a custom newsfeed from them.
Same w/ companies - some I want in my list of "likes" so that I can easily find and contact them if needed, but I've removed from my newsfeed altogether.
If a friend of mine started promoting stuff on FB and it annoyed me, I'd just unsubscribe from them.

Like so many other good ideas it seems when they initailly start they are great and then as they get more complicated they become less fun and more diluted with other things. I once was on FB all the time. Now I seldom go there. I know people really miss my taking pictures of my food and whatnot lol.

What is up with the food pix? My buddy posts pix of his dinner all the time... That is so weird, I don't get it...
As far as, "never visiting facebook anymore." I've got some close friends on there... and I also feel like, "a musician needs to have a facebook page." Perhaps I am wrong...

FB jumped the shark. Its main value for me now is international messaging. Though I'm sure they will begin to meter this within the next 18 months or so

I only use Facebook to stay in contact with friends and family from back home in England. But most of them are using it to communicate with people they see every day in their own town. Have never understood that. Some of them are live-posting comments about the TV they're watching. One girl starts every morning with "Good Morning," which is followed by 80 comments of her friends saying Good Morning and her saying Good Morning back to each of them individually.

As silly as it sounds, the person I communicate the most w/ on FB is my wife - we're constantly exchanging links and stuff. But I know what you mean. I sometimes see friends of friends posting pictures of their plate or status about the weather and such... Fortunately, I don't really have people like that in my contact list - or then I've blocked them from my newsfeed. ;)
