Huh. I do the opposite. I might sign up for direct emails about dishsoap, but I'd be too embarrassed to let facebook spam all my friends that I like melonball cotton candy dishsoap, so I'll NEVER publicly "like" it. I'm really meticulous about only liking things that I don't mind if people know I support the company/product. So, basically I like my coffeehouse and my dive bar and that's about it.

Note: Facebook is quite inconspicuous about displaying fanpage likes; i.e. your friends will probably miss the information that you've liked some fanpage. Each of your friends most likely has hundreds of books, movies and commercial venues liked (you can check that in their profile), and you probably haven't seen a single one of them popping up on your timeline.
Really? Interesting, because I get spammed pretty constantly that my friends "liked" Barkbox or whatever stupid MLM pyramid scheme is the current fad in my newsfeed pretty constantly. In fact, the Barkbox one shows up almost every few days. Is that just because Barkbox is advertising on facebook? I always thought if I liked anything it would reciprocatively show up in their newsfeeds.
You might find that those are actually sponsored advertisements in your feed. You might also notice it's often the same people who have liked it.
They didn't like it right then and there, it's just that an advert is showing and FB pulls up people you can relate to as others who recommend it.
Damn, I think you're right. I guess because I am always posting pictures of my dog facebook really thinks I want to get him Barkbox! Fortunately I know Barkbox is overpriced junk. I don't know why I keep getting targeted for MLM schemes other than a bunch of my idiot frat buddies quit their jobs to sell MLM junk a few years ago and keep trying to get me roped into their "downlines."
Oh it's not a pyramid scheme though. Think of it as more of a circle. A circle of unity.
And in the middle of the circle of unity is us, the early adopters.
All we have to do is give Xenu all of our material belongings and buckle in for the incredible rewards coming our way!
It depends on number of friends and your general feed load. What I've noticed is that articles you've liked tend to show more often on others' feeds than fanpages you liked. Also, the latter used to be a smaller notification. I think recently it's more visible because they started to show summaries of selected posts under the fanpage name.
