Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover. They have avoided regulation but they only skim about 3%.

Google and Apple had lawyers who said "Those guys are amateurs. Do what we do and skim 30%"

Yeah, I've never had someone ask "Is Coke okay?" but I've heard "Is Pepsi okay?" a lot.

"You will eat our dogfood and you will like it."

"You sound like a man that needs help satisfying his wife!"

Facebook likes to pretend it's a technology company but they are really in the business of abusing their ill gotten network effect to keep abusing users.

And all medicine will come in gummy form!

Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?
Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?
Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

As a former Facebooker, I already block all Facebook domains to keep the stupid Like buttons and other debris off of the websites I do visit. This is just another reason to do so.

It's amazing how much faster it is to load pages when there are no calls to Facebook.com or their content delivery domains.

Well I know that they may induce hallucinations of Johnny Cash telling you to find your soul mate.

How embarrassing to spend all that time building up a company only to effectively "resign" from the internet and cede your entire company to become just a feature of another company. Facebook is the king of getting people to work for them gratis. Spotify did the heavy lifting with the labels and Facebook eats their lunch.
