I have never seen a single ad using facebook. I don’t see how they make money.
Hype, media attention, and a way too gullible populace that believes anything they read/see/hear from our illustrious media....ethereal things like this are the 21st Century Ponzi Schemes.
You can probably attribute its wide-spread popularity and hope for value into two areas: user loyalty and use along with what I’d surmise were multiple ‘paid’ media articles and broker ‘talk-up’.....stupidity and payola if you ask me.
Makes me wonder what FB really does with all the personal information that it harvests from all those narcissist, shallow, immature, wannabe suckers who feel compelled to share every aspect of their boring lives with total strangers.
