This is excellent news! I can't wait to sign up.

As a VC and someone who's invested in some companies involved in crypto, even though I keep a rather low profile, I constantly have to deal with impersonators on my Facebook and Instagram accounts, trying to scam people. I've tried repeatedly to (1) get Facebook support to shut down the impersonators, and (2) to secure a blue tick so this stops being effective. Meta has dropped the ball on both of these, so I have to deal with this constantly. I will happily pay to avoid this.

Second — the ads on Instagram have become overwhelmingly annoying and frequent. I would happily pay for a premium version of IG that gets rid of ads. Hopefully this is that.

Narrator in response to the the last sentence: This was not that.

Seriously, it seems there is no mention about this being ad-free tier.

We don't know much since there's not any details, but in theory at least you're supposed to see less ads on Twitter's premium tier. I figured there's a possibility that a similar policy is in place here. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, it is Meta after all.
