They do not see this as a problem, and even celebrate it as a feature.

For example, http://pages.zurker.eu/vshares explains the corporation has been arbitrarily divided into 1 million shares that will grow in value – and once those are sold to users (or just speculators of course), all growth will continue to accumulate to those co-owners, while latecoming users will be just as vulnerable as those who currently use Facebook.

A real “User Owned” network must distribute the *growth* of that network to those willing to pay for that growth instead of pretending latecomers are not real users in need of co-ownership.
