Do you think facebook is losing popularity and hence the need to give out likes like candy?

Dunno, it's pretty weird. I'd be interested to see a comprehensive list, as it has affected me (I went up from 18k to now nearly 80k in the space of three weeks? Picture related). It's also weird how Rosanna's has just.. stopped.

Really isn't everyone. Plenty of my UK friends who weren't far off me/Taby when we rocketed upwards have stayed exactly the same.

Also as someone else mentioned Precious has stayed the same growth rate, as have people like Kamui.

It's affected about 20-ish cosplayers seemingly randomly, though honestly I think the largest part is cosplayers who networked very well within Facebook itself have found the highest rate of growth. If you relied on your likes from places like Kotaku, then you are not connected well within Facebook itself. Ergo Facebook doesn't know what are similar pages to you. So you are suggested less.

Ages of pages has made some difference also. If you've been around longer you've probably shared/been shared more. My page is new compared to pretty much everyone else here, so my growth rate has been a bit less than some of my friends.

What burns me up more than anything is all these new "famous" cosplayers (who I've never even heard of, and I've been at this shit for over 10 years) with these thousands of followers have SHITTY COSTUMES.

Whatever happened to gaining a following because you did great work? As a craftsman it makes me really sad. Wonderful costumes are now brushed off in favor of boobs. I know some of this has to do with the influx of bros and "outsiders" into the comic convention scene, but it's pretty disgusting.

Don't get me wrong, boobs are awesome. If I had more than my measly A cups I'd want to flaunt them a bit too. But it used to be about so much more than that. Having your tits out was like... an added bonus. It wasn't EXPECTED.
