The only way I'd pay for FB or Insta would be if one of the perks was "no ads". If that's not a feature, then it's a non-starter for me. Are there other things that would be "nice to have"? Sure. But I'm not paying for any of them AND still looking at their ads.

As I've seen somewhere:

Companies pay Google/Meta to show ads, and users pay them not to see ads.

Businesses or maybe public figures that use these platforms for PR i kind of get it. Everything else they described just seemed depressing to me, taking advantage of the incredibly vain.

Are there people here who don't use WhatsApp at all? Meta products are really pissing me off, but everyone I know is on WhatsApp.

If it's ad and tracking free, and they guarantee its a human-only network, sure. No double-dipping if I'm no longer the product.
