Yes, I know they make money other ways. But if no one uses the news feed, their ad revenue will take a noticeable hit. Most of the negatives come with the endless feed/scroll in the first place. I still spend time on Facebook, but only when I want to. No endless scroll, and I don't miss a thing when it comes to groups/events/messaging.
