I have a better solution for ad free facebook and instagram access.

Bibliogram or any other open source frontend to access public profiles.

Otherwise, just stop using Meta's products.

EDIT what's most interesting is that people from here are actually considering it to be a good deal. Paying to have your privacy "preserved" by a super shady and unethical company like Meta is not a win. You're negotiating with the devil. As others pointed out, it doesn't mention if your data will stop being sold to third parties to have personalized ads for you. In the future they might even decide that it's simply a dumb decision they took and sell people's data regardless if they paid or not; hell, they can even make it worse by adding a line to the dataset saying that you actually have money to pay for useless, placebo features like the one just announced.

I expected more of HN and not just being condescending to an unethical big tech that milks every data out of its users for a profit.

It's like a protection racket, pay us and maybe your data won't be sold to some shady company trying to swing an election wink wink.
