Agree 100% that FB is problematic as a business model and it's also problematic from a user standpoint because their evil comes from trying to make it a viable business model and their constant secret tweaking of privacy settings, etc...

But from a user's standpoint, it's still pretty great for me. Where else am I gonna get all this?
