FB has 1.5B+ daily users. $9 * 1.5B = A LOT OF CASH. Is that per month, per year? Plus Insta, plus WhatsApp

TV Manufactures may not sell 1B units (maybe they do), but it's still a large enough number that it will not be unnoticed in a balance sheet

In the case of Samsung and smart TVs, and to fully support the argument you are supporting, it is not sufficient that Samsung makes a lot of money. They need to make a lot more per user selling data than they would adding $20 to the price of that TV.

But that $20 price difference would probably mean that less people buy Samsung, so the maths isn't going to be that straightforward.
