You don't get it. We're now at the point where Facebook decides whether we contribute to the bottom line by keeping us on the service.

I stopped going on fb last week. Sure, they still have a page on me, but I'm not watching their ads anymore. They're getting less ad revenue through me. If enough people were to leave, they wouldn't afford to run. Three letter agencies only run on govt revenue.
