It really isn't "free" entertainment. There are many companies making lots of money (zynga for instance) selling virtual goods on facebook with FB credits. FB gets 30%. I'm not trying to say it's the same amount of money that google makes, but that alone is in the millions of dollars per month of gross profit.
- a3d6g2f7 14y agoYou mean the same Zynga whose stock price has dropped 50% in 60 days? Let's assume you are right and I am wrong. Let's assume FB is not "free" entertainment. And in fact all those people who sign in to view/edit/upload profiles, photos, statuses and messages who do not also spend money on games and virtual goods are actually "freeloaders". Because they are using FB as if it's some kind of "free" service. To save costs, shouldn't FB drop all the freeloaders? The ones who sign in to FB and do not spend any money. They are just wasting FB's resources. (This is a very old question that has been discussed many times.) If FB is not "free", then why is FB letting all these users sign in and use FB's computing resources when these users never spend any money? But here's the question I really want you to answer: Why are all these users signing in and not playing games and purchasing virtual goods? How do you explain this? Is FB some kind of "entertainment" to them? Some sort of recreation? I don't get it.
