Really!

love this for them. the well is running dry

This will fail spectacularly.

Most likely outcome: almost no one buys in. Meta keeps the service going, maintaining the features at a loss, for several years. Eventually, the end the whole experiment, cancel everyone's subscriptions. The nicer features (eg, ad blocking) will never see the light of day again, while the dumb features (adding minion animations to text posts) will be rolled out to all users.

Less likely outcome: enough people start paying to perk up some ears. It becomes a not-uncommon subscription to have... but not very common either, similar to youtube premium. Meta makes the base product increasingly unusable in an attempt to drive more users to the paid version (and because they can now justify more ads with "well buy the subscription"). Eventually, the platforms become so unusable that everyone... stops using them.

Loool fuck off

Yet another reason to avoid Meta platforms.

Fuck them.

FFS…

Delete all that shit

They can't really be unaware that the vast majority of its users are only participating because it's free, right? They harvest my fake information, and I get to laugh at memes and ignore ads for furniture and baby products.

There’s a shit-ton of rich idiots out there. They’ll make even more billions.
