I haven’t paid a dime and have had ad-free FB for years.

On the desktop, I use Ublock Origin and FB Purity.

On my phone, I use Hermit to containerize FB Mobile and that’s routed through my app and web adblocker, Adguard. I literally haven’t seen an FB ad in years with this setup. FBP also allows you to turn off pretty much every annoyance on the site(you may know, if you like this then, people who do this do…)

How is a month of Facebook worth as much as a video streaming service like Netflix? How doest that value compare?

What does Meta even make per user? This seems like pure greed/satisfying the shareholders

At least we know how much per user per month to charge them when they inevitably lose your data next time
