People here moaned that they despise ads and gladly will pay not to see them. Well, this is the opportunity to do so

[smarkov]

I'd gladly pay not to see ads on a site that has content worth seeing. Facebook and Instagram are not one of those.

[rat9988]

Does it mean you won't go on them at all?

[skydhash]

No facebook, no instagram accounts after years not posting on both.

[midasuni]

About 5 years too late I’m afraid - none of my friends post on Facebook any more.

Instagram is still quite popular so the effect it has will be interesting

[asynchronous]

It is annoying that they will still collect and sell all your advertising data.

Along with the fact that you have at least €X in disposable income every month.

Can I pay to opt out of their internet (real world?) wide tracking too?

Or better, can I just not pay for that and have them not do that?

[grishka]

You can disable third-party cookies and install a good ad blocker in your browsers to make tracking not 100% impossible, but much harder.

Facebook recommended my sister to a friend soon after visiting my friend that I hadn't visited in years.

Is there any way to get them to not do that kind of shit too?

You can with uBlock Origin and Fanboy's Anti-Facebook Filters: https://www.fanboy.co.nz/

About a decade ago I wouldn’ve jumped at the opportunity of paying for an ad-less Facebook. Now that it’s deserted by actual posts by people I know and care about and has become a desolate expanse of ‘pages’ and manufactured content, the only reason I check it out at all is to lead through my memories of happier times. This is too little too late. Facebook isn’t resurrecting itself from its inexplicable enshittified suicide.
