To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?
Who does this appeal to?
Since when they have the right to manage our personal info? When you click ‘term of service’
$13 is rough. I’d pay $5 or $6 for adfree though.
I’d pay about $1 a month. That’s $1 more than they’re getting from me now.
Tbh this seems fine, it makes sense.
Either folks pay for the service, or they generate revenue another way, like seeing ads.
Are folks actually confused by this?
If you want ad-free use Instander on android
You can also just use the “Following” feed instead of the default “For you” feed, it’s sorted chronologically and doesn’t have ads
@hellequin67 With added bonus being able to download pics & vids.
I’ve deleted my instagram today.
That was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Not going back.
Maybe 13 cents
Don’t sell yourself short, you’re worth more than that, I believe in you… being able to generate tracking data worth more than that.
To people that use meta and pay to have no ads… Which seems that you were already looking into paying…
It is actually a hard paywall. They won’t let you use the app unless you make a choice between the two. I chose to uninstall
Best choice
I wasn’t looking into paying for it. This popped up upon opening the app.

imagine paying for social media like facebook and youtube? lol

I’d pay a reasonable price. I’d even use it for not personalised ads.
Instead I uninstalled all platforms from meta and will only be using it on my PC periodically and in a private tab.

Eh, I‘d do it if it meant the services respected privacy and actually put the users first.
Paying for what these big services currently are? Hell no.
