Come on, FB makes way more money on an user by building social echo chamber and ads... Wiki give user knowledge, probably one of the highest quality sources...

  FB is not asking me for donations and FB pay to people working for them unlike Wikipedia parasiting on work of volunteers pretending to be non profit organization so 300 people can enjoy doing nothing for good salary

    With FB you're the product, your data is milked and sold. Have fun with your "free" social network. What a poor example of what you consider the viable alternative.

    Does FB pay people who create content there? Afaik they don't. I'm that sense I prefer YouTube that at least shares ad revenue with creators.

    No, FB forever locks one into a tiny little echo chamber, so one never learn anything else besides what one clicked on and what they can sell. But am I to judge. There are encyclopedias and yellow press, and happiness is very subjective.
