  The fact that they are charging so much for the privilege of not seeing ads illustrates just how valuable your attention is.

  Blogs and News Sites should acknowledge they value of their readers and demand more for the right to display ads in their websites too.

    They should actually pay us for using Facebook and Instagram!

    Joke asside though, user data is estimated to be approximately $2 a month for Facebook. It’s not a fair price but was never intended to be so either. They want you to just accept target ads. They don’t want users to actually chose the paying option. Besides that, even if you do pay, they won’t stop tracking you. They only offer to remove (targeted) ads. they’ll still track you and recommend/currate content based on your data. Theoretically, they won’t show you pepsi ads but can recommend pepsi content anyway and even take money for it. It won’t be an ad, just recommended Content
