Even if you’re not as excited about Season 2 of Downton Abbey like I am, you might be interested in checking out their Facebook page.Most television companies start a video upon opening a page, an annoying tactic that has shown to causes viewers to leave a page. But PBS not only delays the viewing of their Season 2 teaser, but actually forces viewers to “like” their page before being able to view it.Loyal Paywall Times readers already know that social media is not an incredibly effective way to get opt-ins or conversions.
