One HUGE part of Facebook is photo sharing. It's the de-facto place to store and share your snaps. Why aren't they trying to make money out of this?
I see two obvious routes they could take:
Paid-for high-quality storage and sharing. One pays an annual premium to store high-quality versions of their photographs AND get copies of photos they feature in (subject to the appropriate permissions being gained). This one might be a hard sell/maybe most people don't care.
Printing. Photo printing. Bloody photo printing. It's a fucking tangible product that people buy. Why isn't this an option already? They wouldn't even have to set up their own infrastructure, just create a network of regional partners and skim off their 15%.

This has two advantages - money from printing business plus it will urge people to upload more photos.
- irishcoffee 14y agoI've never understood why fb didn't jump on the photo-sharing aspect of their platform. I got off fb years ago, but when I was on, that was the single biggest thing anyone did, post/share photos.
