The saying goes if you’re not the customer, you’re the product. Now, you’re both. Every big social media app is testing subscriptions. It's a business model that comes with a perverse incentive. Just like airlines, if you make life worse, more people will pay.

    Theres so few people who’d pay for it that all the social media companies would, hopefully, collapse and cure us of one of the worst technoplagues of the 21st century.

    I would not be that sure. As long as they will offer the choice between paying with cash or with data, social media companies will survive.

      Yeah or you pay with your data or you pay with your money and they still steal your data like YouTube premium and etc
