You can ads without anybof the invasive tracking, and you can have paid access without any of the invasive tracking…
I don’t think most people actually think digital things should be free, just that they’re not invasive data-hoarding piles of crap.

You can serve generic ads, which pay less, requiring more ads, reducing the quality of the product.
Like me, a man, getting tampon ads, for example. The tampon company doesn’t want to pay to target me, but if the ads are generic then they have no choice, so they pay less per ad placement, which means Meta earns less, so they need more ads.

None of that is an argument as to why they should track people. You even mention why its not a problem not having tracking, since they can just increase amount of ads to compensate for lower earnings per ad. The ad-supported free teir is probably going to be even worse dogshit than it already is, but the paid tier would be better than it is now because it wouldn’t have ads. And neither would have privacy invading tracking.
