I think someday in the future I'd be willing to pay for an ad-free social media platform. I wouldn't do this for facebook though, they just aren't trustworthy as a company.

Whether or not Facebook is paid or free or not, it would still be a place populated by a list of friends/family you either barely know or don't see IRL, spouting unsolicited opinions or posting uninteresting baby pictures, etc. And I think ads would probably still sneak in, via fake accounts that just spam and share products. Maybe some of the noise would be cut down via people quitting the platform, but the worst offenders are addicted to facebook, so I think they'd stay.

I quit facebook probably two years ago and there's really not one thing about it I miss, so I certainly wouldn't pay for it.

I'm in it for the single sign in, but I am working my way out of it. But otherwise I would pay to use Google with no ads.
