Facebook is free. Instagram is free. WhatsApp is free. So how does Meta turn billions of users into one of the world's most powerful businesses? In this business economics documentary, we explore the massive financial machine behind Meta — the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — and uncover how free social media platforms generate billions of dollars in advertising revenue. Meta's business model is built around attention, digital advertising, artificial intelligence, and an enormous global network of businesses competing to reach customers. But behind the familiar apps is a much larger story. We'll examine how Meta's advertising system works, why businesses spend so much money reaching users, how recommendation algorithms support its platforms, and why the company is investing heavily in AI infrastructure, custom chips, and data centers. We'll also explore the challenges facing Meta, from competition and privacy restrictions to the enormous cost of building future technologies. This is the economy behind Meta — a company that transformed free social media apps into a global advertising empire.
