They have a paid ad-free option in Europe. Nobody pays for it at all. Same with every company ever that does that (YouTube, Reddit - this is a tiny fraction of their customers). Preventing them from blocking adblockers…
This sounds great, but can you lay out for me how people on Facebook and Instagram are going to volunteer to get access to it for free? What are the mechanics of this?
See my response to the other guy who replied -> remove the free ad supported tier and people will not pay and the network will cease to exist.
First, regarding the idea of charging people to access websites: This notion is a very Silicon Valley / coastal elite mentality IMO. A significant majority of people on the internet do not and will not pay for anything…
Are you proposing banning advertising on Facebook? You know this will effectively destroy Facebook, Google, every free ad supported website on the internet?
Controversial but honest question: How do anti-ads people propose the free open internet monetizes itself?
This is what so many people on HN and the market are constantly missing. Jason Kottke almost didn't found his blog in 1998, famously quoted as saying: "I thought I was too late, that no one would be interested."…
Just ask Codex / Claude Code to do it for you :)
