You don't think people want to buy things from Amazon (Bezos), run

Buffett (#3) is just smart enough to get his money out in front of

Amazon sells a huge variety of stuff, typically at lower prices than can
be easily found elsewhere, and delivers to your door. Microsoft sells
software for which there are many competing products. Zuckerberg gives
his flagship product away and hopefully properly address FB's security
and privacy issues. There are many competitors for google, and the apps
are given away. That advertisers pay to be on most of these products is
the price one pays for them, the same way one pays for commercial TV and
radio.

Thanks for confirming what I said about Amazon #1
I disagree that there is that much competition in the Windows market.
Apple gets about 5% and for the consumer Linux is pretty much a niche
market. Their biggest penetration is not in PCs but phones. (Android
is a derivative of Linux).
Are you really that dumb about the other two?
As Larry Ellison, the rich guy I left out of my list says, "If you are
not paying for the product, you are the product".
People flock to Facebook and Google to give away information about
themselves that Brin, Page and Zuckerberg sell to anyone who will buy
it. They are still a products people flock to and that was all I said.
BTW Anyone who thinks advertising is "free" is a moron or is in the
business and perpetuating the lie. Advertising raises the price of
everything we buy. Free TV ends up costing the consumer more each year
than pay TV, just in the price they pay for everything advertised on
that TV.
One more thing to think about.
In the case of Zuckerberg, that "free" product probably got you Trump.
Still think it is benign?

No one forces watchers of commercial TV to buy anything.

But those watchers of commercial TV buy products. And those products pass
along the costs of the company to operate. So who pays the $million bucks
for s Super Bowl advert? Who paid for your salary when you worked for an
Ad agency?

Advertising creates and sustains demand for products and services. How
enlightening of you to admit that. The owners of the agencies I worked
for paid my salary.
