Where does $2.5/year come from? Other comments in this discussion have suggested that it would be more like $120/year in the US, or $25/year for a global average

$2.5/year from each of their monthly active users would be sufficient to keep Facebook in the Fortune 500. (As referenced in the post I was replying to.)

(Tangentially, they would have to cut costs to remain profitable, but I figure it should be possible for 6k employees to maintain a set of services that people are willing to pay $2.5/year for.)
