Are you implying they would not do it if it was paid? The Samsung TV I paid for is filled with ads in the home screen. I pay $30 a month for cable tv and I'm still forced to see 30 minutes of ads for every mere 5 minutes of actual content. They would absolutely still do this even if Facebook was paid.
- daniel_iversen 4y agoIt’s not as simple as that I believe. It’s a combination of user awareness, free market forces, mission and values, shareholder expectations, greed and unit economics (which, the latter, isn’t an issue for fb). Facebook responds to their shareholders, but luckily they don’t have a monopoly anymore (anecdotally from what I can read, besides the small but growing number of adults that are leaving the platform a decent amount of the younger generation isn’t even on it to begin with). I think it’s simply about those handful of metrics and forces that makes them do what they do.
