What do people who own social media platforms gain from it and how? Where do they get the revenue from? I know that ads make up some part of it but is the revenue generated from ads enough?

    Yea, I mostly meant selling your data to advertisers, but in the case of big companies the ad platform is ofcourse internal.

      Advertisers don’t see any of the data though. What the companies are really selling is your attention.
