I was surprised by a piece of news on social media today. The company $META-0.5% introduced a monthly payment (for us 299 CZK/month) for their social networks without ads or you can still use it for free, but you have to agree to customize the ads, so they take quite a bit of information from you. Interesting move to "get around" EU regulations while continuing to benefit from ads more and more. What do you think of this move?


I don't really like the idea either, and as others have written here, most social networks are time guzzlers and not good for anything. However, it's a clever move to get around it.

For me, this is already too much of an intrusion into my personal information :)

I'm curious to see the next results and how it translates into the economy. So the price is quite out of line for me (if I calculate correctly the gross income per user is about 75czk/month), moreover when it is very difficult to find out that even after paying the fees you are not the data source for their algorithm.
