To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?
Who does this appeal to?
13 euros a month... hahahahahaaaa
A number thought up by some yank that doesn't realise that's what our whole fuckin internet connection costs each month 😂
Wait you guys get internet for €13/month? cries in Canadian
At least in Germany you can't. I feel your pain, my canadian friend.
No ads on Mastodon
No friends there either.
Well to be fair I'm still enjoying Mastodon a lot and Pixelfed too (which is the better Instagram replacement) but pretty much everyone I follow is somebody I don't know in real life. Instagram is great to see what your extended circle of friends is doing.
imagine paying for social media like facebook and youtube? lol
Eh, I‘d do it if it meant the services respected privacy and actually put the users first.
Paying for what these big services currently are? Hell no.
To people that use meta and pay to have no ads... Which seems that you were already looking into paying...
I wasn’t looking into paying for it. This popped up upon opening the app.
It's Meta's nonsense reply to being forced by the European data protection authorities (EDPB) to get consent before processing users data, which they should have from the beginning: https://edpb.europa.eu/news/news/2023/edpb-urgent-binding-decision-processing-personal-data-behavioural-advertising-meta_en
Yup just wanted to comment that it's basically the "Yes you can track me" button vs the "I will pay" button. A lot of news sites already do the same thing. Not a paywall with content you can only see when payed but a pay or give consent to ads (which means tracking)
I want to make the, "free", moniker illegal. Advertisers have to pay money for ads and they get that money from us when we buy their products. In addition to having to look at ads, we also have to pay money for the privilege of looking at them. Any ad supported service is objectively not free. No thanks.
Any ad supported service is objectively not free. No thanks.
Well of course not, why should it be free? Neither Meta nor Google, TikTok etc. are charitable Organizations, they are businesses with the intent to make money. Either you pay or you see Ads, or don't use the service, it's that simple.
So you aggressively agree with the person you respond to or what is this?
It's disappointing that they only exclude the information use regarding ads.
So they will still track everything users do and profile them, just like any other free user. And they can sell to everyone else who pays for user data (e.g. AI learning, market research etc.). With that wording, they could even sell to ad companies, if they e.g. use the data for some algorithm optimisation in their tech department. So they leave the door open to keep selling the data to 3rd parties, while already charging the user 'starting at' 12.99€.
If you want ad-free use Instander on android
You can also just use the "Following" feed instead of the default "For you" feed, it's sorted chronologically and doesn't have ads
Use fediverse instead. ditch instagram
Okay, is my favourite memepage on whatever the fuck the fediverse has? Or is it just full of tankie spam?
this doesn't seem legal. at least - it god damn shouldn't be
Just quit, these platform thrive on user generated content while selling your data and now they want money from you so you continue to create content for them.
All because they make you believe that you NEED them to stay in contact and up to date. In reality it's much nicer to speak with friends personally, show a few pics and talk about your/their experience.
Too often when i still used that social media crap people would just cut me off with "yeah i've seen that already on fb,insta etc." and no experience shared.
Being off social media, as weird as that sounds, made me feel more social and it's more fun to interact with ppl again.
