The users get a service that costs hundreds of millions to maintain for free.
And no one is forcing them to post valuable content without compensation.
Well there’s apparently more than 400 million active users every month, so they could charge users a few cent per month and pay for the infrastructure entirely. But they choose to be massive privacy invading assholes.

But again, they chose the shittiest option…there’s really a pattern of them just being massive assholes. No matter what options they have, they’ll apparently go for the shittiest one that screws over the users the most.
