I thought news sites maintained their own pages and followers on Facebook. How does your analogy account for that?

That’s separate. I’m just talking about when a user posts a link to the news in their feed.

Maybe it is kind of like those people that hand out free samples at Costco, they are contracted by the product vendor, but some people think Costco should be paying for all those free samples because those samples draw traffic to their store.

Or something like that.
