«Facebook's user growth in the US has slowed down and is now about the same as that of internet users, while News
Feed ad prices may be reaching their limit,» said in a release Monica Peart, senior forecasting director.
The scope of the boycott still isn't believed to be large enough to significantly impact Facebook's bottom line, especially as its average
ad prices spiked following the company's decision to purge the News
Feed from posts created by pages, thus leaving less space for promoted posts to appear on its landing page.
