What will happen if facebook suddenly pays everyone for their posts and photo uploads? I think there will many millionaires if that happened! What do you think?

The amount of money each individual 'earns for' (or is worth to) Facebook is actually rather small. If they were to operate a profit sharing scheme based on 'website use' or 'activity', there would NOT be many millionaires! Probably, the only millionaire would still be Mark Zuckerberg (or whoever is now the owner). Look at this article: http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/07/report-facebook-revenue-was-1-6-b-in-first-half-of-2011-net-income-500m/ If the NET income for the first half of 2011 was $500 million and the number of active users was 845 million, the annual value of each member (in other words, the amount of actual PROFIT each person earned for Facebook) would be $1.18. If Zuckerberg was really generous and shared 60% of his profits with everyone, the average amount each person would get in a year would be just over 70 cents. It seems to me that MyLot is a MUCH better bet!

I also think that most probably if facebook provide earnings most probably it will be very small. I think it is good if facebook pays some earnings.

hmmmmm.... I don't know, before that happens I'm sure their will be changes to the current facebook now. There is so many possibilities to think of, but I think not alot of people will become rich in facebook, because they will also try to earn money at the same time, because if they don't obviously the site will go down. well just my opinion happy MyLotting

Then I would become nuts, because some of my acquaintances would post nonsense, idiotic stuff just for money an they would flood my wall... (and I may be a lighter version of them, unfortunately :D). It's not going to happen btw. Facebook lives off of the facebookers, they won't let that profit go away.

I dont think facebook will do that. Members will post and upload without them being paid.

Billion of members will also be registering there. Hehehe Well, anyway, that is a good idea. As long as each member has its own paypal account or alertpay or whatever payment processor they will have will go and get their account. Hehehe
