What Makes People Think 'Private Things' are Publicly Acceptable on Facebook?

I spend time on Facebook everyday---checking updates on my friends & relatives, participating in discussion on various topics, and other things ... but mostly 'playing games on the site' (Match-3 Games, Solitaire Games, Farming Games, Questing-Games (a.k.a. RPGs)).
Everyday--probably because of my game-playing--'one of those accounts' sends me a friend-request. (You know, the accounts that aren't really "people" but -are actually just 'advertisements for inappropriate photos' ... and not even "actual people who also have been-in/promoted inappropriate photos," but profiles that are nothing-but suggestive photos and 'invitations to see more!)
I may not know 'the exact rules,' https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/16/facebook-explains-what-it-bans-and-why/ but--if I think the account is too inappropriate (what President Trump would call 'locker-room talk')--I usually "report" the profile ... I click the "..."-button, select "Report," check "Report this Profile," click "Continue," select "This profile represents a business or organization" (i.e. NOT a real person), click "Continue," click "Submit to Facebook for Review," and click "Done."
Then I "delete the request."
Why do people continue to build these fil th profiles? My guess is 'because money doesn't care how dirty you get to make it.'

Lately I have not been on FB so much to notice this but I know it would bother me a lot.

I get those requests quite often. They're just trying to lure you in to purchase their explicit content.

That's not a healthy way to judge, since there are plenty of mostly-clean places on it (Facebook, the whole Internet, etc.)
