I think most media have always had to invest money to gain additional visibility. But in the future, if mainly the advertising budget decides over the dissemination of news on Facebook, that is going to be a major threat to a journalism that builds its content on facts.
Especially for small news platforms that have only a small amount of readers, this will mean a big blow.

mark Zuckerberg following steemits little steps ;)

Well that confirms that you are in the play, very good perception and reading of this type of situations. I think you helped Mark make his decision... Excellent your information. I wil be attentive to see what other news you bring from Facebook. Greetings.

In my view, a step is somewhat positive . Thanks for sharing a great and useful topic .

I'm sure FaceBook will be perfectly honest in their tabulation and evaluation of the votes..

I think they're beginning to see vulnerability in Google and Youtube with Adpocalypse and are setting up to pounce and go for the throat to start taking money from Google and it's advertising.

They cannot he like us so they try to copy , psh

likes on facebook can be manipukated too. because there are some websites offering a thousand like for a post in exchange of cash or tasks. I think they will make a new site connected to facebook like what you said.

wow..that's great.i like your post
thanks for good sharing

Or simply facebook has been tracking steemit and now wants a piece of the pie of earning more users and keeping exist ones active by making them upvote and earn. Just a thought. ;)

so valuable post for me.  thanks dragosroua

I'm not too surprised to see Facebook move in this direction. Mark Zuckerberg is certainly no dummy, and I'm certain FB has been monitoring the growth of Steemit AND putting significant resources into determining how to combat the competition it presents. This will likely be just the first change of 2018 from Facebook (and other apps/sites).

This is decentralization. I bet Facebook will use censorship.

I love your steem.supply @dragosroua 

I may not make much right now but it helps a lot with what i do get 😀

I saw the news too. I have not been on facistbbook in quite a while. I like steemit, and I have been more active on twitter. Why buy Zuck a Lambo, if I can get myself a '92 Buick for  the same content?

Soon nobody knows who facebook is ( 5 years)

thanks for the news..i m not sure that what is gonna happen now :)

@dragosroua I really can't stand Facebook even though I have my account on there. I use it as little as possible because I can't stand that CIA creation that SPYS on the entire EARTH.......

Well what do you know, so facebook did not know that it's users opinions that mattered most in the first hand? So steemit had to do it first...o well if you must emulate emulate the good stuffs.  Next like you pointed out news sites will be giving out incentives to voters. One 👆 for steemit. USERS COME FIRST!

">In other words, people will decide what news site is more respectable than others, not Facebook's algorithms.<"

Well, we will see about that. I call this PR stun. How long will it take, before their algorithms start clicking on likes like they would be coming from users? They are already censuring. fb is, just like google, very politically biased. 
What are the chances, that some news will rank high, if news is opposite what fb's political stance is? Not a chance, media is there to mold users opinion as media wish, not to report the facts.

Fb has to evolve or it will quickly become outdated....
