The "amusing" thing is he talks about the "community" as if @facebook was a book group or a church. But it is a half a trillion dollar advertising colossus where the users are the product sold to those advertisers!
Facebook took out full page ads in the NYT, WSJ, WashPost, and 6 UK papers today https://cnn.it/2pHfpIj pic.twitter.com/CUEYwyWuTT

People correctly saw FB as a way to stay connected to friends & family scattered about, maintaining a sense of community virtually. A problem is that one of the business goals was to profit off the community platform they created, and the lack of transparency around that goal.

You’d think they could use a more targeted marketing strategy

It's about image. Not reach

Oh, I know. The users aren’t the intended audience. Investors are.
