Changes to Facebook Profiles and Followers
Facebook has removed the option for public followers on personal profiles, leading to a significant change for many users, especially public figures and founders. Instead, if users switch to professional mode, all followers will be combined with friends, creating a more integrated but possibly confusing profile experience. This shift raises questions about the future of personal and business pages, as the line between them continues to blur with new features such as boosting posts on personal accounts. Ultimately, this move reflects a broader trend where individuals are increasingly establishing personal brands, prompting Facebook to adapt its functionalities accordingly.
