“using advertisement to peddle overpriced junk to the uneducated masses” using advertising to sell products? like every single company ever? also that is their point, they sell a physical product (what you bitterly call junk) that’s it, unlike Facebook that deliverily hides or obfuscates the fact that its customers are really the product, and before you start saying that they never lied because it is in their T&C, tell that to eldery people who simply join to see the photos of their grandchildren, they can easily simply chose not to buy an Apple product because of the price tag is visible at plain sight, but the price for Facebook use is not so easy visible. |

That was my point.

How did they hide it? It was their business model. The one they copied from google.

Are you saying that facebook forced the grandparents to use facebook?
I'm not a fan of either facebook or Apple. My dislike of apple goes back. But I taken aback by the anti-fb posturing justaposed by the pro-google and pro-apple lobby here.
I'm not saying that facebook is good. I'm saying apple isn't good either.
It's so striking how an innocuous comment in every anti-fb thread is met with downvotes and attacks.
I agree with you. Facebook is terrible. That's why I don't use it and never have. But I also don't use apple products because apple is terrible. Is that okay?
