Entitlement mentality is getting out of hand.

I understand capitalism but Facebook used to be about making the consumer happy.

Also, Zuckerberg initially didn't even want ads on Facebook because he didn't care about money, but now he's doing things that make it less enjoyable for unnecessary money.

But you’re missing the point or intentionally ignoring it.

Unless you’ve actually bought anything posted on fb, your just a user and not a customer. Realistically, they don’t do the site for free. If you nor I feed them cash, they have to get it somewhere.

You are getting something for free but you still want to cry about ads.  You think that since FB is "already a multimillion dollar company" then they owe you something for free.

Maybe it's the organizations that posts the videos that put the ads in, but I don't think so because they all have similar structure.

It pisses me off because I understand that they're trying to make money, but they're already a multi-billion dollar company and Facebook is supposed to be for the people, so you can't let me watch a three minute video of a doctor dancing for sick kids in a hospital without having to pause halfway through and wait for an ad to finish?

Sorry, had to rant, and I'd do it on Facebook, but I fear being kicked off.

Facebook was started as something for other people to connect with friends and it wasn't about money.  Up until this point, while being able to make money, they haven't done anything like disrupt viewing videos just to make an extra dollar.

By the way, I doubt that you don't know this, so it's just you trying to use your empty rhetoric, like always, but Facebook's a billion dollar company and they have been for nearly a decade (multi-billion now).
