That would be interesting! That would probably mean they'd need to ban me, since I use an ad-blocker, right?

What about someone who uploads a lot of pictures but doesn't have many friends? That person might be using more resources than the ad revenue they generated...

Are you saying they should be forced by law to block you?

That is a flat-fee/pricing issue, just like someone binge watching Netflix might be using more resources than they generate in revenue. It isn't relevant to the discussion.
