For the record, the issue with FB is *not* that its business model is ads. Advertising serves a valuable function in society. It connects buyers and sellers, it's useful to many. The issue is basing its product on manipulating people, and misleading the public about its impact.
Serving as a willing tool in the corruption of democracy and the spread of hateful propaganda, making millions in the process, then lying to the public about it, is more than a "bug" that you can shrug off. It's a fundamental moral failing. "Evil", by another word.
On top of the social alienation and depression it creates, and the hundreds of billions of wasted hours of human time it causes. Some tech products empower human potential, some tech products destroy it. Some do a bit of both. FB is not in the gray zone.
Also it is non-discriminatorily pushing small businesses and non-profits to compete with conglomerates and corporations in terms of ads. Because otherwise, the contents are not shown to the user base. That is simply unacceptable.
It's possible that the business model affects the design of the product. Ad-driven revenue seeks to maximize eyeballs and 'engagement'. Subscription driving seeks to maximize total willingness to pay. They lead to different design choices and strategies.
The ad model in its current form has incentives that will make it worse, and produce a FB. The incentives set in place by the system are the problem, not evil people.
I find it dangerous how closely we are analyzed just to roll out targeted ads, while this targeting can obviously be abused... The risk outweighs the benefit by a huge margin!
