How interesting their paid tier has no mention of being ad free
“subscribing to Instagram Plus ($3.99/mo), Facebook Plus ($3.99/mo), or WhatsApp Plus ($2.99/mo) will gain access to extra features, like profile customization, super reactions, and story insights, among other things.”
I’ll pass on that.
Good. Kill off this shit sooner
Pay today to get what MySpace gave for free 15 years ago.
For a few dollars per month, consumers subscribing to Instagram Plus ($3.99/mo), Facebook Plus ($3.99/mo), or WhatsApp Plus ($2.99/mo) will gain access to extra features, like profile customization, super reactions, and story insights, among other things.
Ah, they’re doing the Discord Nitro thing?
Does anyone actually use Discord Nitro?
I see surprisingly many on the servers I frequent. It’s included in Xbox GamePass now, so I guess that has caused a massive boost to the userbase, too
Fuck all the way off with all this subscriptions to finally make this AI shit profitable. It won’t work and people don’t need all this datacenters. I really hate this timeline and all this billionaire bullshit.
Facebook probably isn’t the one to do it. But paid social media, if it worked like social media from 1999, would probably be worth a few bucks a month.
It used to be that your ISP included subscription for newsgroups, etc in the connection costs.
Still just a couple bucks if newsgroups float your boat!
I’m voluntarily paying for my LW account but the admins don’t know whose money transfer belongs to which account.
Honey! New idiot tax just dropped!
Ah, enshittification, my old friend. Here we go again.
Honestly, if they did this instead of being the data collection, forced fed ads and manipulation machine that they are id think its great. But they’re going to be just as evil and now youre paying them which is stupid.
You’d have to pay me to use that crap
I‘d happily pay a messenger that respects me as a user, even if that only meant not collecting my metadata. I‘d even pay a higher price like 5 bucks a month.
But instead they‘re trying to sell me STICKERS which I can already create myself from any image and care about maybe 2 times a year 😂
If there were any competency in this world, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO for Meta and the rest would be fucking dividend checks to everyone that uses the platform. The amount of data harvested from an average american house with a modern car, smart appliances and every kind of surveillance tool you could ask for, should yield enough that you shouldn’t have to work another day in your fucking life.
Surprised fElonia dickMusk hasn’t increased the price of his dumbass blue (balls) checkmark system.
Also surprised Jay Graberbythepussy hasn’t introduced this shit on BlueSky.
