Same as TV has done for 70 years and radio for a 100.

You get entertainment, the company sells your attention. If you don’t like it you don’t use it.

Exactly the same model as reddit as well, with the addition of useless internet points in exchange of content to fuel the entertainment.

This isn’t exactly corollary.

FB isn’t just selling ad space, they’re literally selling user data, often to adversarial countries.

Radio could never do that, and tv only could if you had a paid service like cable or satellite.

Yep, even if the amount of data harvested wasn’t on the same level as TV, advertising still brings in money.
