It's a nice idea in theory, but does anyone honestly believe Facebook would stop collecting, analyzing and sharing your data just because you paid them?
Sure you might not have any ads displayed to you, but that's not a privacy concern anyways since Facebook doesn't provide user data directly to advertisers anyways; they just allow them to use a set of filters that rely on your data to help target ads.
Not to mention the latest privacy concerns with Facebook really have nothing to do with advertising, and more to do with their lack of reliable security with your data (ie the Cambridge Analytica data leak, which was done via an app).
The only way I'd truly trust that my data isn't a product in and of itself is if I'm paying for a service from day one, and there are no "free" accounts period.
