This seems like an insane price. I'm generally not opposed to ad-based services offering an optional subscription to remove ads, but holy shit. $13 / mo. for social media? Fuck the hell off.
Yea ad-based services should provide paid, ad-free alternatives imo, but this pricing is a joke
There was a thread on here that I now can't find that worked out that, based on monies from advertising/number of users this price structure is indeed an insane price.
I can't find any clarification on the details of this either. Is it per service? So 10/13 euros pm for FB and another 10/13 for Insta?
And if you access either via desktop and mobile do you have to pay for both?
I bet they're still gonna track the shit out of the paying subscribers
They never specified this subscription removing anything but ads, soooo
yeah, absolutely
Lol. Twattish, petulant attempt at "malicious compliance" when advertising was never the issue, just don't track people without their fucking consent.
Facebook average revenue per user (ARPU) as of 2nd quarter 2023, by region (in U.S. dollars)
Q2 '23 :
- US: 53.53
- Europe: 17.88
- Worldwide: 10.63
(Dollars for 3 months)
Whatever, I already have uBlock for Facebook and Instander for insta. Already got no ad for free
That's only one of two aspects.
If they share your data to show you ads and you block ads, they still processed and shared your data.
and if you pay them to not show you ads, rest assured that they will still process and share your data.
For Facebook, use Frost. For Instagram: Aeroinsta.
