    It has taken almost a year to figure this out when it already was blatantly obvious when they implemented it. With that price tag, it was more blackmail

      I mean, it is shitty, but nobody forces anyone to participate. Half the people on Facebook noping the fuck out completely and deleteing their accounts would make everyone’s life easier and happier

        Oh yeah! I dropped out of all META platforms back in November when they implemented the Pay or OK requirement.

        I can still have an opinion on it though. I am not against ads. I had just opted out of targeted ads. With the Pay or OK though they forced me to have to accept targeted ads.

        Even if i paid the crazy amount they were asking (in my case the equivalent of 3 Netflix subs) they could still track me and suggest content , even from commercial accounts. So i opted out of META instead
