> it's a flaw in their business model, and it's one that can that be fixed (i.e. "innovate a better business model")

Doesn't that assume that there is a better business model?

I thought it was obvious I meant from the sector in question. My mistake, I'll try again.

Do you know of a social media company (or ad company using a product to garner the data, if that helps) that uses that model with a comparable size to Facebook? If not, are there any that are making ground?
