$14/mo is a bit steep, but back when I actually used Facebook, I’d have dropped $5/mo to not have any ads (or sponsored posts) and have more control over my feed. That sounds glorious… but $14/mo is a huge waste of money for the cesspool Facebook has become.

Its 14pm for mobile, 10pm for desktop. Per app.

Maybe enshittification is actually a good thing. Hear me out: the worse things get, the more motivated people are to ask questions, migrate to alternatives, build better platforms, and hopefully 1) enact well-informed legislation, and 2) prevent what appears to be this "necessity" of enshittification from continuing to happen in an endless cycle.

Would this plan remove all ads? Only then I'd consider it.
