Who clicks enough internet ads to give Facebook $642 million in 3 months?

People still use Facebook?
Bots do. People, not so much.
My mom does. Which is 1 reason I do not.

And so repeated 30 million Millennials. Wasn't this phenomenon on South Park?
Shorting involves timing to work. Knowing that Facebook will plummet isn't going to help you make money if you don't know when down to at least a month.
Longer dated puts can help, but aren't perfect, as you said. You can always sell the put early if the drop happens earlier and never exercise it yourself. Of course, you can also lose 100% of your investment if it's not long-dated enough.

Flirting with lots of guys to appear more attractive to the one you want. And when he comes around, you have that brief moment where you think you've accomplished something with potential... and then just when you have him where you think you want him, he opens his mouth and gives new meaning to the words "smart as a rock."
All that advertising, so little yield.
Well you reap what you sow.
The point is it's a very unsophisticated marketing tactic. Very high school. "Look how popular I am. Therefore, I must also soon attract meaningful relationships." Yet Facebook promotes it like a valid marketing strategy to raise one's profile and increase business. Quantity isn't substance.

Right, which is why I don't understand why anyone would consider Facebook likes as a serious metric for an item's value.

Facebook's stock will plummet when the fraud is finally accepted as fraud. Facebook might even get sued, but the loss in revenue will be more important.
Have you shorted Facebook yet?

Did you click 21 internet ads from facebook in the last 3 months? I don't know how much they make, but at 10 cents a click, every man, woman, and child in the USA would have to click an ad on FB every 3 days to make them this much cash for FB. If we acknowledge that kids and seniors are not using much FB, then it easily goes up to an ad a day. Who the hell clicks internet ads??? I'm curious how much of this is from outside the USA.
