Facebook thinks my self-esteem is for sale. WTF?

So, the other day, I shared a picture on Facebook.

Nothing I haven't done before,

As usual, I was just sharing someone else's picture (I seldom create pictures myself).

Just passing the time.

Sometimes people ignore them.

Other times people "Like" or even "Share" them.

Every once in a while one might inspire a kiss from you-know-who.

Anyway, then something got my attention.

Looking at the posted picture, I was given a new option:

Shameless [paid] self-promotion

What the hell?!?

For the record, and to all my friends, I will never pay to announce any post. if you see it and like it then GREAT.

But my value system in its current form requires the approval of just one person. And she isn't for sale, with or without Facebook pimp proxy.

I hope Zuckerberg has less creepy ways for Facebook to make money post-IPO than the "buy more approval from your friends" technique.

Probably good that friends won't be told someone announced posts this way, I can't think of a better metric for unfriending....
