It's clear that Facebook is everyone's enemy. So why would anyone use them just so they can manipulate you for their own purposes or just rent that manipulation information about you for profit?

Think of the creepiest entity ever watching and listening in on everything you do on their platform then using all the info you provide against you for profit. That is what Facebook is!
