Facebook is not a philanthropist, the purpose of the company is to make money!
Facebook is now facing serious problems with leaking user information and faces huge fines! Certainly will not give users the benefits of advertising fees!

I don't think Facebook will directly pay the user the advertising fee!
Will send users some similar coupons for spending on Facebook!
The essence of capitalists is to make money!

I do not understand the author. He is so worried about how much someone has earned ... What's your difference? Zuckerberg has created a top social network and has the full right to do anything with her and do not share it with any lean. Thanks to him that he did not forbid you to post any posts from Bounty or the like.

If you really think about it, all of the social media platforms make money from all of the people who use their platforms. Users dive in thinking they're on the next greatest thing, all while being suckered there so the platforms can earn billions off of them. Mark Zuckerberg, for example, made $41 billion last year from advertising. How would you feel about sharing in that?
Yes they are making money and that money they are making is a way to keep the platform up and running. Facebook is one of the biggest social network ever, and it takes a lot of money to run such a social network and also pay the staffs.

So why exactly should he be sharing the revenue with you? It took a lot of hard work for him to reach the level he is now, so if you want to reach the same level too you should also work and stop waiting for when he will come and share money with you.

Unfortunately, the rich isn't going to spread their money around to their costumers. Zuckerberg is going to keep milking the Facebook trend until it is a trend for people to use. Same goes for Instagram, same goes for Twitter, and same goes for any other website which receives organic traffic with clicks translating in mad passive money. They have to do nothing at this point, just sit back and keep the money coming as people click on ads. Advertisement is really the ideal business to be, if you hit a jackpot, the passive income allows you to make money on auto-pilot with little time invested and not much of a cost to maintenance, other than paying a domain name, servers, or sometimes nothing if you manage to have some viral Youtube videos which have passive views and therefore passive ad revenue. The problem is, is extremely hard to hit said jackpot, and you may waste a lot of time for nothing, this is why most people stick to having a wage, otherwise everyone would be making online money and not working.

The old school version of passive ad revenue is having a billboard. I know some guy which inherited an huge billboard sign in a very trafficked road and he makes like $1,000,000 a year from that, pretty crazy huh.

Bobby Fischer was right
I would prefer them to pay taxes Smiley as they suppose to. Not evading taxes with fictional offshore offices.
 Facebook and other big corporations often compensate their executives with stock options. When those options are exercised, the company is allowed to deduct from its taxable income the difference between the value of the shares and what the employee pays for the stock, even though the company doesn’t have to spend anything to provide the stock option to its executives.
Between 2010 and 2015, Facebook saved $5.8 billion in taxes through the stock option loophole
Source great read, recommended.

Check out http://www.Blinked.live - where up to 90 percent of advertising revenue on a social media network is directed to users.

The revolutionary trading ecosystem
I think that it is not possible. Who would share a profit from a creator who made an application that is free and enjoyed by millions of users. A user friendly application. I think what he earn on his advertising, he deserve it. As people use advertisement on Facebook in return they get sale on what they are advertising. The platform that Mark Zuckerberg is great. That's why people are coming to use their advertisement, because Facebook is showing their advertisement to the right person. I think what we should do is copy how they made their platform.

Commonly, those millionaires or billionaires are really have difficulty in sharing their hard earned money because they know how hard to get that millions or billions. However, if Mark will pay us from his FB adverising revenue, it must also be on peoples rank. One must apply online, then he will accept or reject the application. Bigger payment must be given to the poorest so that they will have chance to be rich, too.

They should paid us on stakes just like what we doing on bounties right. Mark Zuckerberg must know how bounties works so he can paid us correctly. Mark is multi billionaire now so he must do something to share his blessing in the other people. Theres a poverty everywhere we must do something to help them

to be honest I still do not understand the road map of social media. just like youtube pays every youtuber who uploads their videos. I think their videos are interesting and interest the audience to open youtube.

they said they were looking into blockchain technology and that is not limited to creating a coin! there are a lot more applications for the technology than that. i have no idea how they are going to use it but one usage that comes to mind which can be close is a social media platform like Steem or a messaging one like bitmessage.

I acknowledge that and I completely agree. The topic is specifically about users somehow benefiting from ad revenue though, which Facebook gets when users engage with the platform. I just thought of an application closest to that. It wouldn't be dissimilar from games paying you in-game currency to watch 30-second ads. I don't necessarily like the idea, but it may benefit both sides if implemented well.

Facebook actually does pay users/pages that has advertisments on their videos. It has to be original of course and your page should have a good content.

There are several ICO's that has a concept of rewarding once you get likes from what you shared, tipper is one of them.

If time will come that FB ads profit will be shared to the content creators and users of it. FB will be like youtube, sharing of revenue is one of the best way to make his social media earn more and stand greater. But what basically on his mind is even the profit isn't shared, he has a lot of users already so he can stand still and depend on the companies work. It's a company and business but if that will be on his mind in the future then how he will allocate the profit? What's in reality now, many are using facebook and are earning that much through individual ads, paying an FB page just to advertise a product or service or put the ad on pin in groups.

Facebook is business for Zuckerberg and not for charity. Why would we ask for share of revenue if we are only using their platform for free? Advertising is where Zuckerberg earn his money and we are only tools to make his plaform successful.

Well, the sharing cannot just be open to everyone, people would have to be made partner in some ways to get paid. Yes its a lot being made, but do we also asked how much financial and human labour effort goes into that?

Instead of sharing the profits (why Facebook would want to do that in the first place?) we may go in other direction.
Zuckerberg mentioned at some point that he was thinking about standard and premium facebook accounts.
The standard account would be exactly the same as it is today, but with premium, you would pay a monthly fee for access to FB.
And a bonus your data would be hidden from any 3rd party and protected better - but I don't think that this idea would ever go live...

I like your idea and it could be a unique selling method for a new social media site. However, as long as enough people are willing to spend their time there for free, why would the operator of such sites decide to give anything to the contributors? Another problem is to determine how much a certain account has to receive depending on the value it has contributed. And then the risk of fake accounts will surely increase.
