As you probably know, you don’t see every post from every Page and Profile you follow. Instead, Facebook picks and chooses what it thinks you’ll want to see, and hides the rest from you.
This way, they force Pages to run posts as “ads” and pay them to get content distributed to fans.
In short, nobody sees our satire posts unless we pay Facebook hundreds of dollars.

I still see you posting on Facebook though.
We’re posting on our Page to make it easy for people who are on our email list to share. We just can’t afford to promote those posts with money any more, so while you may be seeing our posts in your feed still, we assure you — almost nobody else is.
But I was seeing your articles on Facebook just fine!
That’s because we’ve been paying Facebook about $200 per post to distribute each article to our fans. When we haven’t paid Facebook, almost nobody gets our articles served in their Feeds.
Oh no! How do I keep seeing your articles then?
Easy! Just join our email list.
It’s the only reliable way you’ll see our articles.
Then just pay Facebook. You’re a company, right?
Nope. We’re three satire-loving friends — each of us have kids and a family. Until now, we’ve been paying out of our personal funds to help get you the funny. We can’t afford it any more.
Just start a Facebook Group
It won’t work. Groups suffer from the same problem. Plus, as admins of the page, our identities would be revealed, and that would mean we couldn’t do the Beacon at all any more.

It’s free, we’ll never sell your info, and you can leave any time you like.
