This is hostage negotiation, not a reasonable price. The revenue per user comparisons are absurd. What does it matter what Facebook can sell your attention for? You own your attention. Facebook used network effects to monopolize its audience and then switched them to ad consumers when they had the eyeballs. There is no way to launch such an ad heavy service in an upfront way. |

YES. Our attention is ours. It's not theirs to sell off to the highest bidder. It's part of our cognitive functions and as such it's inalienable.
It's straight up offensive that they think they're doing us a favor by not advertising to us. Truth is advertising should be illegal.
