Come on. Damaged global psyche? Seems a bit hyperbolic and unsupported by evidence.

The addressable market of rockets is considerably smaller than the addressable market selling ads... So there you go.

There is a growing body of evidence that high levels of engagement with social media is linked with an increase in risks for multiple types of psychological ailments.

Singling out Facebook is a tad unfair and causality still needs proving, but I don't think it can be called either hyperbolic or unsupported.

Any web search for 'social media mental health study' will provide as much evidence as one could possibly expect for that statement.
