Yes, noticed lots of that going on at the moment. Bound to be the case eventually.

If you have a "Page" your should ask your subscribers/likes to click on the "like" dropdown and tick "Get Notifications" otherwise only a % will actually see you post. This is one of the ways that FB get you to pay for "sponsored" posts etc.

Facebook are removing profiles that were set up as a person instead of as a community page. So lots of profiles who aren't actually a real person have been taken down. It has caused lots of problems and information lost as a result.
