Isn't that the point, people worked the fields of a feudal system for the food they got. The food they got was significantly less than the food the king got because he owned the land.

Sure people are using Facebook to get some value, but the value they are getting is nothing compared to the land owners value.

Also, the users of Facebook are the 'product' not the customer(advertisers are the customer).
