4. There was no way to increase revenue without selling all the personal data in big chunks, which would destroy the brand.
People suckered themselve. Everyone I talked to that was silly enough to buy it had two reasons, either they wanted to "own a piece of Facebook", or they thought they would make a quick easy 15% in a week and sell. It was all just wishful thinking on their part, and that's what happens when you make stupid decisions..... It costs you.
