Isn't it remarkable that the benefits of not using fb are clearly observed, defined, and expressed, but the only benefit given for using it is:
The authors wrote in their conclusions:
Our results leave little doubt that Facebook produces large benefits for its users. A majority of people in our sample value four weeks of access at $100 or more, and these valuations could imply annual consumer surplus gains in the hundreds of billions of dollars in the US alone. The 60 minutes our participants spend on Facebook each day is itself suggestive of the substantial value it provides.
So, if I've got this right, the only benefit of using fb is an imaginary amount of money, which, if you live in a world of unicorns and flying pigs, you can pretend pretend is real money, and further imagine what effect it would have on the world if it were real money, not imaginary money in a world that doesn't exist.

Which essentially proves that, to use fb, you have to be out of your bleeding mind.

Case closed. Next!
