I probabl would be down to paying that for Facebook, especially considering the product would be massively better than their current offering. No ads + optimising for platform utility instead of eyeball time would do wonders for Facebook.
Why do you think there would be no ads? There's just no way that 100% of FB users would be willing to pay for it like you are. As an example, Hulu membership costs money AND you still have ads. Newspapers cost money AND have ads (the ads subsidized the cost but didn't make it free).
Just like how paying for cable TV means no ads right?
Just like how paying for Netflix means no ads.
I see plenty of ads on netflix, ads for other netflix shows, but unskippable and at the end of shows, and ads all the same.
How can something be both "at the end", and "unskippable"? Where would you skip to?
Is this sarcasm?
Facinating, so basically the same as you'd pay for Netflix in the US on a monthly basis.
