If it meant they couldn’t spy on me… I might consider it a worthwhile trade to finally use Facebook after all these years ignoring my account.
i think they'd still spy, you just wouldn't get ads. The more they spy and learn about their users the more accurate the ads become for those that chose to see them.
Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if we switched away from Facebook to another social network instead?
$14 is pretty high, but if they actually follow through on this I think we'd see downward pressure on price.
I would pay for it if on top of removing ads, I do not see cringe “suggested for you content”. I mean there are only so many DIY hacks, people nodding to a video running in the background, dancing people who can’t dance, people lip syncing an unoriginal audio etc. I can watch.
It’s not either or. Some people will pay it. Others won’t and so will have the normal as-laden experience. Win-win.
