True, I mean at least since a year or so. I think last year articles about studies showing Facebook having an adverse effect on happyness arrived in the mainstream, i.e. Google News.
But anyways, the more I think about Facebook, the more question it raises. What I was wondering recently: how do they acutally pay the low-income personell, like guards or janitors? If you imagine that even people earning a 6 digit salary have a tough time finding an apartment and commuting to work - both subject to protests by locals - how do these people live?
I was thinking about that as I read a post on HN about exactly that problem at Yelp. The article was deleted though. Here's the reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16844410 This makes me think there is something deeply wrong in the whole Startup bubble.
The media became incensed that Zuckerberg, till-then held as a paragon of progressivism, (indirectly) provided the same service to Trump that he did to Obama during the two previous election cycles.
Suddenly the supposed idealist turned out to be a profit-first capitalist, willing to equally trade with left, right, and center. Of course it doesn't help that Facebook has been long known for playing shady tricks with things like user privacy.

They are most likely contractors. And they probably live far enough where they can afford living. But that means longer commute.
