Facebook Says Haters Gonna Hate, Likers Gonna Like

Facebook knows what's best for you, sometimes before you do. That's the meaning of a new "Likers Gonna Like" inspirational mini-poster printed by the Facebook Toronto Office. If you don't approve of something Facebook's doing, fine, there's millions of other people who do. And just as with the launch of the news feed, if you hate some change to the Facebook interface, wait a few months, and you'll probably end up Liking it too. It's a cavalier statement, one based on several old hip-hop songs including "In Da Club" by 50 Cent, where he raps "If [they] hate then let 'em hate and watch the money pile up". It's a mentality that has gotten the company into privacy trouble. But the idea that Facebook and its visionary CEO Mark Zuckerberg should push forward with bold ideas because "Likers Gonna Like" is what's let Facebook move faster than its older rivals, and kept it from being disrupted these last eight years.
