That's why I continued talking about another service that I do use that is trying a similar move at a similar price point.

The point is that the poster I was replying to believes that because they think it's good value at $12 per month, it's necessarily the same for everybody. It isn't.

I’m not saying I believe $12 is good value. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s just a fact.

Similar forms of entertainment cost the same.

You’re the one with the subjective opinion here because you personally don’t see value in it and make the assumption that is the absolute truth

How is it a fact? I would argue that most people derive negative value out of Facebook. Is $150 per gram of cocaine "good value" just because some people enjoy it and come back to it?

I had a Facebook account today, it definitely wasn't worth $12 in entertainment per month so I deleted it.

I think you need to stop spending so much time on Facebook, and spend a bit more time reading a dictionary.

You firstly made an assertion that "they [in this context, everyone who is whining that it's too expensive] definitely get 12 bucks a month worth of entertainment off of Facebook and Instagram".

You secondly state that "I’m not saying I believe $12 is good value. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s just a fact."

Both of these are subjective opinion, because it's what you believe and while some will agree with you, there are others who disagree with you.

You accuse me of making the assumption that what I'm saying is absolute truth, which is weird, because that's exactly what you were doing in your argument.

Read again what I wrote: "Maybe you, as the commenter might feel you get $12 per month worth of entertainment or spend 4-6h on the site daily, but that's simply not true for everyone."

That's not making any claim of absolute truth, rather it's saying that your claim that it's good value for everybody is false. And it's obviously false, because there's at least one person for who it isn't true.
