Thanks!

This is kind of depressing; I suspect that $40 million is barely a blip in Facebook's advertising budget, so the sad part is that this probably had almost-literally no effect on them.

I guess it's not a new thing for corporations to own the world, but it's always sad when I'm reminded of it.

To put that in perspective..

In Q3 2019, Facebook had nearly $18B in revenue. Therefore, $40M is about 5 hours of their revenue.

Crazy. That would be like an average American household getting fined $150 (63000/40/52)... so a speeding ticket basically.

That is what is politely referred to as a "cost of doing business"....
