The value of social networks to manipulate politics is way more valuable than any ads. The ads are there to just cover the bills. Reddit is going downhill because it's a radicalization factory filled to the brim with bots. Anyone who presents an unpopular opinion is banned on most subs.
This is why the whole social media world is easy to disrupt. It's not listening to the consumer and focused on influence. I mean the whole reason Gab.com exists is not because it's a good site with cool features. Nope. The reason it exists is nobody can host that stuff without building their whole infrastructure from scratch because of the political controversy.
TikTok on the other hand is just focused on user engagement right now and not politics, so whatever. There will come a day though when it become too powerful for just that.
