With FB you're the product, your data is milked and sold. Have fun with your "free" social network. What a poor example of what you consider the viable alternative.

Does FB pay people who create content there? Afaik they don't.

I'm that sense I prefer YouTube that at least shares ad revenue with creators.

No, FB forever locks one into a tiny little echo chamber, so one never learn anything else besides what one clicked on and what they can sell.

But am I to judge. There are encyclopedias and yellow press, and happiness is very subjective.
