There you go. They see a financial incentive.

When you use Facebook, you know they're spying on you and using that information to try to manipulate you, but they don't charge you the $30-50/month that it would cost if they went ad-free and turned off all spying.

If the NSA turned off its network taps in major data centers, most people would not even notice the difference in their taxes.
