Just for the record, a good part of the issue is not what you notice or
what may interest you, i.e. just the visual advertising. It is what is
being gathered about you and your "friends" behind the scenes. Why do
you think the company has such a high monetary valuation, or is expected
to be a blockbuster IPO?

Thanks to everyone for their current and future remarks.
