On the one hand, you say AOC's claims are BS. And then you say that Facebook is:

> making money in ways that at least a substantial number of people don't think are "earning" money, such as monetizing users' data.

Is this not a contradiction? Or are you splitting hairs between a "true startup" and an enshittified bigCo?

No, because AOC claimed that it was impossible to earn a billion dollars. Not that there are ways to make money other than earning it, which of course there are, but that there are no ways to make that much money by earning it, which is BS.
