How else is it supposed to exist if it doesn't have ads? That's a huge part of it's business model. Companies that want to make a huge profit but offer a 'free' product all rely on the back-end manipulation advertis

Can a for-profit company that even went public, that offers it's product "for free" to it's users really be good? I think at the heart of the problem is Facebook's business model. It can't be good and still s
