MODERATORS
Imagine paying a subscription to remove ads.
Not even in my wildest dreams, as a teenager being amazed at what Facebook was and the evolution it brought to ~~post shit with folks~~ connect with relatives on the Internet I would ever think about this kind of shittification.
If I could time travel and advise about shittification to people using services like Facebook, Twitter or Google.... Heck, sounds like a good time travel movie, but I can't see anyone having the balls of doing it, and I think nobody would listen anyway ๐
