Well, there's no pay-per like option right now, so technically I'd say that this doesn't count.
As to your point re: linking to brand page on Facebook, I feel as if this goes to the point that unless and until you let businesses sell on Facebook, and somehow capitalize on that (through a commission fee, or just more ad revenue for clicks to their Facebook store,) I'm not convinced that either Facebook or these businesses are really better off in the long run.
Don't get me wrong, it pays for businesses to have some kind of a Facebook strategy, unless and until Facebook goes the way of AOL. I agree, the Like game isn't free, but I question its long-term sustainability -- do I really want Doritos' posts next to ones from friends and family?
Frankly, I'd rather just see Reddit or Google style ads that look like, and function like the content I came to see in the first place (and as an advertiser I'd pay well for them, but I find Facebook's current ad set-up to be lacking -- as someone who has spent a considerable amount of my own money on Facebook ads).
