Facebook Finally Puts a Price on Privacy: It’s $10 a Month
wired.com

Ad free Facebook and Instagram is officially on. I'm trying to stay open minded but honestly it's too expensive especially with this sneaky account center rule unless you're in an unfortunate position where you need to spend a lot of time on these platforms.

Can’t we just use ad-blocks to make it as-free? 😂

If your dumb enough to pay, you wouldn't understand navigating off the page to install a blocker in the first place.

I’ve not used FB or any other in over ten years but calling people that do dumb is a little silly no?

Most people don’t care. We are in the minority of people that do care, but we are not representative of the world.

He's calling people who give 10 dollars a month to Facebook dumb, not people who use it.

My point stands, if people don’t want to see ads then it’s worth it no?

Do I drink alcohol no as I don’t get it, you pay money and feel ill. Do I think people that do are dumb, no. People can spend their money on whatever they like.
