Proves Facebook et al are assholes, and that users are still retardedly cheap and dumb to keep demanding "free" over privacy when better alternative models now exist. Distributed networks are growing, costs covered by each participants node contribution to the network. They are slowly obsoleting Facebook et al. Even in centralized world there is huge opportunity to profitably replace Facebook et al rolling out new donation and pay based models using anonymous crypto payments to accounts and/or sites. Many privacy enabled cryptocurrencies offer low transaction costs that make funding months or years in advance possible.
