Seriously though, take a minute trying to grasp how rich a company like Facebook (Meta) really is. Think, truly think, about how much money it makes every year.
Now, think about HOW it makes this money:
Does it sell a lot of expensive cars? No.
Does it sell computers around the world? No.
Does it sell oil? Nope.It. Sells. YOU.
And how much do YOU get in exchange for producing these billions of dollars for it each year?

@Em0nM4stodon tbf it sells ads but that's pretty much the same thing

@Em0nM4stodon especially considering retargeting ads are their strong point and it's because they have so much more detailed information about its users

@xyhhx @Em0nM4stodon 🤨they're selling your browsing data to hundreds of other company's for the purpose of targeted ads.
Even though related, this is a seperate business from selling ads in general.
