I have a quick question - what useful product does Facebook produce?
And since the answer is none (well I take that back they did make a cutie little picture book for my wife for free ) why are they worth $150 billion?
I mean seriously you have a bunch of kids sitting around on computers doing nothing producing nothing and just trying to interfere with peoples free speech and they get paid 100 grand a year?
Since people are SOCIAL creatures and do want to connect with friends and family from all over the world and disseminate and receive ALL KINDS of information they find useful or otherwise, Facebook provides a robust platform to meet all these needs!
And because there are hundreds of millions of such people around the world using their platform, ADVERTISERS who want to sell their products use Facebook to pitch their services and market their products.
THAT is the value Facebook adds.
