  What you suggest would be way too complicated for ordinary people to deal with. Heck, I'm a software engineer and I wouldn't even want to do it for myself. Besides, I don't see how your solution would hurt Facebook any more than just using Facebook without clicking on the ads. The value of Facebook is that it's easy to use and almost everyone you know has an account. Any competing solution needs to get both of those things right. By the way, getting those things right at the scale of Facebook requires highly skilled people, and some of them are going to make $240k a year or more -- why are you citing the Facebook median salary like it's a bad thing?
