Nope, you keep forgetting the key ingredient; the "lookers" would need to agree to this arrangement in the first place. None of these things are foisted upon people without their consent, as you keep trying to claim. You agree to terms when you buy a copy of a work, both implicit and explicit, that forbit its further distribution.

It could be part of Meta ToS. Saying that all your friends are allowed to ask payment for eye contact. Hopefully you read it already.

Consent is a really hard thing to guarantee. You have already lost. There is no moral stance to have here, its all made up agreement.

Nope, it could not be part of Meta's ToS, and consent is not hard to guarantee, when you have a specific moment of transaction.

And you can claim I've "lost", but you have no justification for it.
