I should get paid for not falling for the facebook hype



Masturbating profusely during The Social Network still counts.

By that logic, Google owes me a TON of money... They use every search to target ads to me and tailor further searches. I demand a pay-off!

I thought I was the only one that had no interest in it at all.

When facebook goes IPO and shareholders take over.

Facebook will be monetized beyond any usefulness and start to disappear like all before it.

To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

You don't get to pull your panties down at prom and then demand compensation at graduation. Facebook users could have held on to their personal information until the right price was offered instead of handing over their SSN to play Farmville...

I read once they make about $4 per year on each user. That combined with 800 million users or something makes them money obviously.

Even if thats a low number, each user could get what? 50 cents a year?

unless they are thinking the youtube example, and the popular pages get compensated. Those over 1 million views or subscribers or some crap.

With how much I search and how google customizes my searches I should be rich from looking for crazy non porn related topics.
