1. Just an FYI, I don't "Like" anything on FB because they sell the info to marketing companies.

It's part of the info they use to build profiles of people they can use to target advertising. If you're ok with that, that's fine, I just prefer not to because on FB I use my real name & it's connected to my business (which has a Page on FB & a website) so I try to keep personal "profiling" info to a minimum.

But ... when it comes to Liking a band, for example, I thought you just went to the band's FB page & then Liked the page? I've viewed several band/musician FB pages & there was always a Like button.
