Not everyone may know or remember this, but neither Twitter nor Facebook were built on the paradigm of selling user data. That came later.

@plsburydoughboy From a business perspective, originally (2008 or so) social media was about getting exposure for your business/product/service for free. Now, if you want people to actually see your tweets/posts, you have to pay for that.Unfortunately on a personal level I'm starting to see this affect me as well.
