I don't think it will ever go mainstream, but time will tell.

And yes, as fetishwealth said, they took VC money.

I never did and never will understand what's wrong with a company wanting to make money for its stakeholders while providing value (multiple FREE services) to its users. Then again, I'm not too much into this neo-hippie entitled 'free-for-all' BS and choose to live in reality instead. ;)
I agree 100%. This WE WANT YOUR SHIT FOR FREE WITH NO ADS is the PIRATE attitude. And I know how much everyone here hates pirating.

If you use AdBlock of any sort you are no better then pirates. You are stealing bandwidth in a sense from websites.

Facebook has ads to be provide you with a stable service. Without the ads they may have to limit you on the amount of images you're able to upload to save money. They may have to cut staff. The service would be worse.
