Realistically, how profitable is WhatsApp? Facebook itself obviously has profit potential because it can bombard you with ads. WhatsApp, not so much. I feel like some of these services (WhatsApp, FB Messenger, etc.) may not be very profitable by themselves, but only serve to keep people on the site/ecosystem. But if they're ignoring the profitable part of the system, then the whole thing might not be sustainable.

I'm sure bookface has plenty of good uses, but it has become the least interesting of all of the social media sites and is mostly just for logging in to other websites. Btw, that data they get from any tiny snippet of facebook Javascript code on any website is probably invaluable. They see all. That's why we gotta use Ghostery, Brave browser, etc. as defaults.
