$1 billion doesn't sound like a lot, considering the way Facebook user doom scroll. How much is that per headline+summary viewed? Maybe $0.00001?

How much do you think a headline is actually worth? The vast majority of viewers didn't chose or even want to see it. It was automatically pushed on them and they would normally have paid $0 without facebook
I know what it costs to make that headline, and Facebook got off cheap.
