It's nearly 2020, why can't I pay to get rid of Ads on Instagram, Facebook and Google? There must be a price where it makes sense to do this. It baffles my mind

It's nearly 2020, why can't I pay to get rid of Ads on Instagram, Facebook and Google? There must be a price where it makes sense to do this. It baffles my mind that there are billionaires out there who are being pestered by badly placed ads.
- leetcrew 7y agoanother comment estimated that every user would have to pay about $28 a year for a no advertisements policy to be revenue neutral for facebook. but not every user is equally worth advertising to; I would assume that users who were actually willing to pay the subscription would be some of the most desirable advertising targets. maybe the price where it would actually be worth it to offer ad-free facebook to people who would be willing to pay is too high to admit publicly.
- OJFord 7y ago> It baffles my mind that there are billionaires out there who are being pestered by badly placed ads. I like to imagine that behind every billionaire there's a 'Technical Secretary', or whatever the title might be, installing PiHole and doing whatever else to solve these stupid problems that for whatever reason their employer doesn't realise is a stupid problem that every user of the employer's app has.
- Ensorceled 7y agoThe people that advertisers are trying to reach are the people who would pay for an ad free experience. Billionaires are not using Facebook or instagram except in a curated fashion.
