Call me naive, but I hope and believe there’ll be a paid opt out
- tomcooks 8y agoAt its very beginning, WhatsApp was a paid app so that wouldn't surprise me
- breakingcups 8y agoIt would surprise me. The first thing Facebook did when it bought WhatsApp was to rollback the price on iOS and to halt the Android pricing rollout. They don't want you to pay for it, it singles the remaining (ad-served) population out as being less willing to spend money. Not a good message to your advertisers.
- chrisper 8y agoI already paid for this app. Why should I pay again?
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> I hope and believe there’ll be a paid opt out I don’t. This isn’t how Facebook works. Paid opt outs drain the highest-earning advertisees from the pool. That removes Facebook’s ability to charge dubious ad rates.
- anticensor 8y agoDo you mean "user" by "advertisee"? If you do, it is like Stallman saying "used" for SAAS users.
- Fnoord 8y agoI'd rather pay than see ads, but either way I got a better alternative waiting for a network effect (Signal).
