The funniest part of this is that Facebook provides almost no value to society, while the food service workers do.

Facebook is providing value. They aren't providing it for free here, which is to say, they are extracting the price for said value.

Wikipedia, on the other hand, is providing value, and isn't extracting the price. Therefore they rely on donations. If Wikipedia extracted their price for the amount of value they provide, I'd say they'll be one of the biggest companies in the world.

On the contrary, how we want to use our free time is the most important outcome of society, everything else is work.
