Would you pay $9.99 per month, or more, to get ad-free #facebook and #instagram, as #meta is going to offer in the #eu?

I would expect very low uptake at this price point.

@J12t I've lived my whole life without Facebook and Instagram, so I guess I'm not the target audience anyway, but they couldn't pay *me* enough to sign up.

@J12t I would pay $10 /mo to support an organization dedicated to eradicating facebork usage…

@J12t absolutely, I’ve been wishing I could do that the whole time

(I might even pay $20 if they would also turn off tracking)

@J12t I don't use Facebook/insta apps since few years and now I don't feel I need it anymore.

Maybe for WhatsApp???

I like their move by the way.
I mean they don't have the choice 😄 but that clear know.

@J12t this is exactly what I've been advocating all this time, and I'm happy that it may become a reality.

A lot of people are annoyed with Facebook's immoral data collection practices and aggressive ads. Facebook is now finally giving a choice - either you pay to keep the lights on without ads (and hopefully with minimal data collection practices), or you get the free spyware+adware package.

I'm definitely not the target audience, as I already pay enough to keep the lights on on my Mastodon instance. But at least now people have a choice - that's something that they've been denied so far. If somebody keeps using Facebook without paying the triple 9, then they can't complain about their data and ads practices.
