Yes, Facebook wants to make money with ads, and that does not mean that it spoils anyone

In the interview, Elies charges Facebook and his former company accusing them of being at the service of advertisers, of innovating little and copying a lot, and of just looking for people to be hooked to their app. But is it really so rare for such a company to pursue those goals? Because if we call Facebook “scam” for that, should not we say that so are other companies like Google, Apple or almost any other big company in the sector?

The arguments of Elies against WhatsApp are not what we have heard many times against the great applications that lead the sector, something that is not surprising considering that the engineer has been involved with competition, for example With Telegram. It is true that some companies may lose track of innovation, but from there to call them scams there is a big stretch, especially with the argument of advertisers.
