AI-Generated Summary:
- Meta is testing a link-posting limit for professional accounts and Facebook Pages, restricting users to two links unless they pay for a Meta Verified subscription ($14.99/month). Affiliate links and Meta platform links (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) are exempt.
- The test aims to assess value for paid subscribers, with Meta stating it wants to learn if increased link-posting limits benefit Meta Verified users. Publishers are excluded from the test, and links in comments remain unaffected.
- Creators and brands may be impacted, as they rely on posting external links. Meta’s Q3 report showed only 1.9% of feed views in the U.S. came from linked posts, mostly from followed Pages. The test could push users to post natively on Meta platforms instead.

I hope this means that Facebook is in financial troubles. 🤞

It would be great to finally have the Facebook beast slain and give fediverse alternatives a chance.
