I agree with you completely. And that is kind of my point. At its core, it has some parts that are great. The trappings paying the bills are what have created so much damage. I think ultimately, the world would be a better place if people who wanted privacy could just buy it. I’d pay money to have Facebook without any tracking and without any ads. The trouble is that I wouldn’t pay as much as that policy would cost. If everyone now is worth $5, but everyone rich enough to pay $5 just “bought out” their own ad space, advertisers would flee immediate and Facebook would lose most of their revenue. The struggle with Facebook is that they can’t afford to sell privacy to those who want it, except at a cost that nobody would want it. They are interesting to advertisers because at least some Data is fair game for everyone. If that goes away for those that are most able to pay, it drives a spiral away from advertisers, and therefore away from privacy being affordable.
