Blocking ads on facebook

Hi everyone
If everyone uses some kind of ad-blocking software, then how do websites make money? For example, I use Adblock Plus and I never see ads on Facebook. How does Facebook make money from me?

That is a very good question, because Adblock doesn't stop Facebook from making money off you; it primarily prevents you from seeing ads.

Facebook makes money from trillions of datapoints as well. What that means is it may not be making off from you through ads, but it can see your preferences, places of work, studies etc and "group" you with other people who will see its ads. And basically because you post and contribute to Facebook, Facebook is worth more even without showing you ads specifically.
