"this is just a bonkers amount of money to ask." I couldn't agree more. I am not sure what Jimmy Wales is thinking here... there is no way this site gains any serious traction. I wouldn't pay $5/month for facebook... hell I wouldn't pay $3/month... you know what, if Facebook wasn't free, I wouldn't use it.

This might be a way of weeding people out. It's an insane amount of money.

Your personal data isn't worth $3/month to you? There is this idea that everything should be free for everyone, but building and maintaining a platform like Facebook takes immense amounts of resources. If someone builds a social media platform and wants to work on it full time, they need some source of revenue. It's going to be either coming from the users or it's going to be coming from advertisers. You take your pick.
