Facebook has revenues of $70b where are you getting $3/yr??

  Poster above me, reusing their number to keep the thought cogent. The point is if the revenue per user is low enough some (many?) would want to opt out of data/privacy infringement and pay for the service directly, maybe even at a greater cost than revenue share. Also keep in mind that some percent of that revenue is from other things (ads for example). They could still make ad revenue on paid users, just marginally less.

    The ads are only valuable because Facebook have lots of data to target you accurately. This is mostly what people mean when they selling your data...it's less that Facebook is handing it over, it's that Facebook are providing a platform for advertisers to target you based on this data.
