Facebook is making more and more money from you. Should you be paid for it?

Figures show a 20% increase in the amount of advertising revenue generated by the average Facebook user. Is it time you were remunerated?

If you've been using Facebook recently, it may be time to ask for a raise. According to new figures from market-research website eMarketer, you've made the company over 20% more this year than you did in 2014.

The average Facebook user now generates $12.76 in advertising revenue every year, according to the analytics firm, up from $10.03 the year before. That figure is expected to rise still further, to $17.50 in 2017.
