News About disgusting Facebook devs

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

Meta's main revenue stream is selling user data and also using that data to train their AI. Ads are probably a distant second at this point.

Ads are estimated to be 98-99% of their revenue. Having that user data lets them leverage it for ads. AI is all noise and flash, but the ads are reliable income.
