I recognize the spirit of your comment; however, "where the money comes from" is of immense importance to a business. When revenue comes from the end users, the business is properly incentivized to serve the users. When the revenue comes from 3rd party advertisers, the relationship between the business and its users is perverted.

To serve users in what? Their business then turns from attention manipulation/adversising to hardcore social comparison. Hardly an improvement
