If you didn’t know this in 2019 you are a moron and shouldn’t be investing in stocks on your own.
I would say from advertisers but the average user doesn’t pay. I know I don’t.

It’s not free. You pay with your personal data.
Someone has to pay for the work it takes to setup these platforms, gather news and information, secure the information and distribute it. No one wants to pay for it directly- so ads and marketing helps pay for it. It’s a good thing & it helps everyone access information equally.
I don’t know. Maybe, marketing the crap out of you and selling your data to the highest bidders

Advertisers?Games?I’m sure the celebrity accounts R probably pd for. Or maybe it’s a huge money laundering scheme & Mark Zuckerberg is just a robot synth that “used to be human,”as he himself said. The cabal/mob runs all ultimately anyhow,as CNBC surely knows;so there U have it.
And selling user data.
