I use signal, but am a little bit at unease because it's free. What's in it for the developers? Whatsapp is e2e and all that but the reason it got bought by facebook for an obscene amount of money is what gave me pause

The Signal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. They're funded by Brian Acton (former co-founder of WhatsApp, net worth ~3 billion), donations, and the Freedom of the Press Foundation. They are not owned by Facebook not sure why you said that.
