[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>They don’t care about the user, they care about their shareholders. Welcome to capitalism.<<

Is that a slam on capitalism?

Your model is WAYYYYY too simplistic.

The way a business takes care of its shareholders is to please (and not abuse) its users. Otherwise the users leave, the business fails, and the shareholders lose.

But it does seem that this is exactly what Facebook is doing, getting greedy to the point of abusing their users. I think it will cost them in the long run.

Not a dig on capitalism at all! As a matter of fact, the corollary to my example is this: I can choose with whom I do business. I choose not to do business with Facebook, and as such, I am not affected by their shady morality.

My model is simple, yes, but there are plenty of corporations out there who truly do take advantage of their customers.
