#3 Could be that people are starting, just starting, to realise that they are being manipulated. FB often injects items you don't like in your feed to trigger an emotional response and spend longer time viewing ads - as well as feed more information to the FB algorithms. This is on top of censoring what appears in your 'feed' to only favour what they would like.

#8 Counts? Who needs counting when you can just get your compliant media to announce the totals. Saves a lot of fussing about with papers, actually.
