After reading the rumor that Twitter is going to provide a subscription option I googled this very phrase and found this opinion article, which is as relevant as it was 5y ago.
I hope that the anti tracking movement will give me an option to pay for the "free" services which I use.
We shouldn't be paying to avoid tracking, we should be getting our share of tracking profits. I would post on social media again if it meant I got my fair share of the benefit instead of being exploited.
Is not the fight against being tracked outside of the social media using? Like using snippets on 3th party websites etc.
Recently I'm having really bad experience with ads and sponsored content FB and YT. Ranging from repetitive stuff to outright scams. WTF? I'd pay for not being served that content.
I wish Google would do the same thing. Google provides such absurd value; its a shame that they have to fund it with advertising. Google makes maybe $7 per person per month [1] (If anyone has more accurate numbers, please tell me!). I would totally pay $7 a month for Google without the ads/tracking, hell I would pay $15 if it included YouTube too.
If they offered this, I would buy an android phone and personally use Google everything, as long as they ensure that they aren't tracking me.
I feel like they can’t afford to offer tiered accounts.
For these modes of appraising the worth of individuals for advertising, aren’t the most valuable targets ones who would pay to avoid it? As in, people too stingy to pay are unreliable consumers —- but that’s the only tier advertisers could reach.
