The idea that people are perfectly rational actors with perfect information has long since been debunked.
Sure people are rational, even though you as an external actor may not agree with their motives. Even a schizophrenic is rational given what they have to work with.

No, they're not. They're people. They do not act perfectly rational.

I originally posted that people wouldn't use these web services if they didn't receive some benefit from it, and you've done nothing more than present red herrings.
