Don't forget that you are the product on any Meta application, and you bring in a lot of money!
Unaware product
99.9 % of the people that are active on social media that is owned by Meta have no idea how the business plan of Meta works. And that is sad.
The people on Meta are the product, and they bring in tons and tons of cash, and the users get no return whatsoever for it. It is very important for Facebook and Instagram users to understand this. "You are the product, and you are doing it for free". That is why people should understand how much value the Hive blockchain has, people here are no product, they are users of a decentralized network that pays its users for their efforts.
135 billion USD worth of advertising
It is estimated that Meta will receive 135 billion US Dollars in payments for advertising on their platforms in 2024. That is incredible, and sad at the same time. You have to give to Mark Zuckerberg, he created something that sells a product that doesn't cost him a dime.
Big companies pay millions, no billions to get you to view their ads, and believe me nobody is immune for advertising. So, actually Facebook and Instagram are costing you money, because consiously or subconsiously, you have definitely already bought something you don't need because of an ad on Instagram or Facebook.
So, why do we keep spending time over there, when there is money to be made by just doing the same thing on another platform... Well, most of the Meta users, haven't even heard of Hive, or Leofinance. But I have a feeling, that is about to change. Times are getting harder, and people are searching for extra forms of income, so Hive will be found more. And of course the efforts of @khaleelkazi and the Leofinance team to onboard more users to Hive will also pay of.
Don't be the product, be the creator, and get rewarded for it, as you deserve!

It's indeed sad that not even a cent goes to the 'product' themselves despite them being the cause of all this revenue that Meta is going receiving. Advertising has worked well for Meta thanks to their sheer number of users, but a few are beginning to wake up about being the product without any reward for it. Hopefully, this number continue to increase more into the future.
I’ve really been one to dislike anything related to web 2 since I got on hive. It’s really alarming the way they sell users and then pay dem zero penny or only pay a few some crumbles so they can bring in more numbers.
However I’ve recently tried getting on x due to the zealy campaign and I’m sure we’ll be able to bring some great people to hive along the line
yes, good reminder of just how it works. I'm so glad I woke up and found hive already. :)
It is a fact that when someone does not know how to do business and you ask him to make our business famous, it cannot happen at all, so it is better that the person should advertise there. Should be where we hope we can grow a lot from here.
