The subscription fee should be equivalent to the loss to the business from no longer collecting the data on the user.
It could actually be an eye-opener for many people. Most middle-class tech people would probably happily pay $10+ a month for the service Facebook provides, but if its something like $70 then Facebook is either scarily good at monetizing their information or unreasonably pricing the service.
On the flip side, you shouldn't be allowed to undercharge for the cost of a private membership. Transparency is good, let users be part of the free market for their data and make informed consent.
