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.

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.

there is no need for him to pay us money. if he didn't do this earlier there is no need for him to do this right now.
Except if Facebook gets competition. Facebook is no rocket science and someone could simply make a similar platform that shares half of profit to users and maybe people would move from Facebook. There were some ICOs about social networks, I remember one called Sociall. Maybe they can grab this idea. I know there are expanses, you need servers, lots of data storage for all photos and videos, money for programmers, staff. But apparently Facebook still makes much more from ads than they spend for expanses. So why not sharing this with users.

We are using their platform without paying anything. Most people think it is free, but technically it is actually not free at all. We have to see advertisements and this is where we are indirectly paying facebook. Advertisements are the source of revenue for them and it is impossible for them to share it with us since the number of users is actually were high.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
Zuckerberg is in no position to decide where the money goes to. He gets what he gets because he works with the authorities and the agencies need him. As long as he is cooperating he will get the money, those are scarps anyway for those in power. I wouldn't mind getting even 0.1% of the FB revenue but if all the poor people in the world could get some money they wouldn't be poor anymore, right? If only half of that revenue went to the poor the social pyramid would start to look more flat. The rich don't want that.

No. I would not do it.

They got enough personal information from the public.
Isn't that enough already or they want more of their users blood to get free advertisement towards their new world order?

The point to consider is yes Facebook is making money with your personal info and generate revenue from advertising. What about not accepting someone using your personal information to make money with. Or will you be ok to know someone is spying you if the company pays you something like $20 per year? Me no, my privacy worth more than that.

Why shall Facebook share the revenue made? Isn't a company supposed to make profits?

Steemit is great, but what about the ads we see everyday? Like imagine if you're watching the Super Bowl. Who's collecting that advertising revenue?  Millions of dollars for a 15-30 second commercial and every cent goes straight to the network. If the users weren't there watching the game, that would never be possible. Same thing with social media. I think crypto is really going to change the way that happens moving forward.

If facebook should go to that extent will be very great for this blockchain industry.It will be nice where people who need investment ideas will just log on to that page and get vital and latest information on the cryptocurrency market.This will help speed up the public acceptance of cryptocurrency in major shops around the world.I think blockchain should do more negotiation to make this possible.

It sounds better than average tho, however I think I've heard a few articles that facebook has diassalowed and promotions about bitcoin, ICO or something. so I mean it is difficult to happens. Well I don't know whether those articles was valid or not. but rather for me by and by the web-based social networking stage truly helped a ton to advanced bitcoin.

You can be sure that Zuckerberg is not going to do that as it isn't going to increase his earnings but is just going to cost them earnings share.
On the other hand this kind of business method is available at the cryptocurrency market, as there is a well known coin called steem who aims to provide decentralized social network solution, and it distributes the earnings from ads(companies who want their threads to be showed publicly in the main page has to have a high amount of burned steem, and everytime someone burns steem it decreases the total amount of steem tokens available in the network, which is directly affects the price of steem tokens positively.

This is a really eye opener and it means we can actually make some decisions that will also put money in our pockets. Facebook give most of it benefits to Zuckerbergs' He will never give any percent to the users of facebook and we should think our own ways of making money from it instead of put eyes in another man's effort and thinking.

It's kind of an interesting concept though. With all these rumors about Facebook launching their own crypto, they could reward users tokens for internal services simply by being online and engaging. It would be kind of like mobile games giving users daily rewards for simply logging in.

Using their product for free is our share. It wouldn't make sense for us to receive ad revenue when they were spent specifically to try to reach us. It would be somewhat like a hitman victim being paid part of the hit money because the hitman made money off him lol.

I dont think it works like that at all! I mean why would they go sharing their profits with us at all. Have you see the number of users out there? They will have to share billions of dollars like that with us and well facebook is something that can be joined with "multi-accounts" too. So it would be like scammer place where people will rip off the facebook profits.

I dont think it will work at all. Though they might just verify with KYC or somehting then they will turn all the users against them. Lolz. It wont be fun place anymore, it would be just another stupid money making machine.  Grin
