Is Facebook messing with my traffic or is it just my paranoia?

Is it just my paranoia or is Facebook trying really hard to restrict the reach of posts originating from FanPages? (commercial FanPages as opposed to personal FanPages).

Over the past 4 to 6 weeks we have had some amazingly popular posts with several receiving tens of thousands of likes and comments, one with over 140k comments!

Yet now we are only seeing 50 to 450 views per post, would seem we might be victimized by Facebook.

What do you think, are you finding the same?

Post your own experience via the comments below, even if not directly related I would love to know if you are finding that Facebook may be going just a step too far!

As to my reasoning ... well it's not hidden that Facebook are working hard to improve ad revenue and trying every little trick they can come up with to achieve their goals, so it would make sense (I guess) that they would restrict the reach of posts from commercial FanPages (even if they are not commercial in content).

And my feelings are more than just a 50/50 guestimate, the signs are that Facebook are manipulating posts to increase their ad revenue, in fact I would put money on it.
