After reading the rumor that Twitter is going to provide a subscription option I googled this very phrase and found this opinion article, which is as relevant as it was 5y ago.

I hope that the anti tracking movement will give me an option to pay for the "free" services which I use.

We shouldn't be paying to avoid tracking, we should be getting our share of tracking profits. I would post on social media again if it meant I got my fair share of the benefit instead of being exploited.

Is not the fight against being tracked outside of the social media using? Like using snippets on 3th party websites etc.

Recently I'm having really bad experience with ads and sponsored content FB and YT. Ranging from repetitive stuff to outright scams. WTF? I'd pay for not being served that content.
