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.
Yes. The balance has tipped for me. You have a healthy desire for social connection to your friends and family. It's the nuclear strong force they rely upon, allowing them to act irresponsibly without consequence.

That FB rely on. They've never been noted for responsibility. They seem to only learn in hindsight. I'm expecting users will again push back causing them to pivot to something more socially acceptable. Trends only come from low-grade papers and ones that are heading that way.

I think they'll enact the minimum change possible -- enough to bleed backlash without effecting their profit model. That's their pattern. At 515 billion in market cap and the source of news for literally most people, I'm personally unwilling to offer them any more leeway.
