Without being familiar with Shared, I'm willing to take you at your word on the company. I do question your conclusion though. I've seen no indications that Facebook has any standards and if anything they seem to promote crap content not bury it. If it drives engagement and doesn't bring legal trouble to their doorstep, Facebook seems to be all over it.

Which makes me think there is something else going on here.

There's a difference between "crap content" shared by users on the platform, and crap content promoted via ads.

The difference is primarily the fact that the crap content promoted by ads pays Facebook's bills.

The natural conclusion being that they're sacrificing money for some higher purpose, surely a praiseworthy act.

Exactly. Number of crappy Chinese comedy videos with millions of reacts is astounding.
