This is the point where I'm smiling happily because I moved from being an FB user to being an FB stock owner.

I feel like this pattern could be applied more often in real life... some company is being "evil"... don't just abandon them, buy stock in them!

Buying their stock is supporting them so if you feel they are evil do not buy their stock.

You are assuming I don't want to profit on them being evil.

That makes you part of the evil. Really, your reasoning about this is not sound.
