Instagram's monthly subscription
Instagram's monthly subscription
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
They profit from user-generated content and monetize your data, and now they're asking for your money to keep creating content for them.
You should walk away from these toxic platforms. In reality, there are tons of excellent software options that do not collect and sell your data while allowing you to use their services and protecting your privacy at the same time. Mastodon (I guess most of you have already heard of it), Element, SimpleX Chat, WireMin, Session, etc. I can keep listing them all day.
Except within the EU they won't be allowed to make money from user data anymore. Serving user generated content for free isn't a viable business model. So what are you proposing?
