What if Facebook paid us for all we post

I think if Facebook had to pay us for all that we post and for all the games we play most of us would not need a job. We spend so much of our time on Facebook interacting with our friends. But we never find the time to meet the same friends and family. We get all updates of our families now from Facebook.

That would be a good money making program. For users and owners.

You may be on to something there considering how well the site is monetized and the massive amount of money it makes from our data. Paying it back to the contributors would be an interesting thought especially considering I believe Zuckerburg is onboard with the nutty idea of automatic pay for everyone.

I dont think Zuckerburg would want to pay us anything. He is just now earning quite well and I dont think he wants to share his profits.

@mayka123 Clearly he does not. Although after all of these privacy issues and data etcetera came out and more people became aware of it, he does seem to be scrambling to find ways to let us purge it as often as we like...somehow I think they will still capture just enough data to still make a nice living off it. :)

That would be nice since they make enough money off of us.

Well, it’s great to learn such discussion! It would be great in that case! I think Facebook pays for the post by not of everything! Common people do not know about that! But even if we knew, it’s very tedious to earn in Facebook! If it were so easy it would be very difficult for the Facebook to manage all the money! I think they couldn’t do that! So they aren’t doing that!

Yes it would be very tedious for Facebook to manage payments. But they are earning quite well and they pay their staff also very good salaries.

@creativeaashish yes they cannot be that generous. Else people will start misusing the site.

@mayka123 Yeah, but I don't think they will pay for all the discussions. It's hard to give an easy money for the company like Facebook.

I think if Facebook paid us for everything we do, it would be swamped with vacuous posts from people who are only there to make money without having to do anything for it. Although, some interactions might be worth paying for.

Most of us spend more time on Facebook that anywhere else. While travelling in public transport also I notice most people busy surfing facebook. Wonder how Facebook would manage if they had to pay us to post.
