The problem is that while Facebook is a product of capitalism, so is SpaceX. I don't think we really give each other enough credit. For instance not all that long ago ad blockers were a really niche thing. And people using them wondered how all of these fools could continue to subject themselves to the nonstop eye gouging and exploitation of ads at the time. But while some people were slower on the uptake, over time things changed. And that change has in turn also completely reshaped the web along with it in an extremely positive way. I don't see any reason to expect we won't see a similar change as people begin to understand the consequences and exploitation of social media. In a way I think many of these industries are currently just exploiting naivete. People are easiest to exploit when they don't understand that it's even a thing. A conman in a city of angels would have a field day. And while we're certainly no angels, the idea that simply 'keeping in touch with your friends' could be in any way exploited is something that is not very intuitive to many people. People will always be exploited so long as there are people seeking to exploit others. It is unfortunate that our system incentivizes this sort of sociopathic behavior, but at the same time our system also enables the most meritorious some of the best chances of 'making it' even when their ideas sound insane. How many approval committees (which any sort of social system is going to come down to) would have thought it wise to give Elon Musk 9 figures of money to go start building rockets because 'I think I can do it better than these companies that have been doing it for decades.'? It was an insane gamble, but his to make thanks to the fact he was able to accumulate a very large personal wealth through his other endeavors. I'd agree with supporting the bottom by all means possible, but I think it is important that companies - even awful ones - are allowed to be developed and thrive.
