It's definitely more than 1-2 dollars, but not so high that subscriptions would be too expensive for users. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/03/facebooks-average-r

  Although the average revenue per user who would be willing to spend $7/quarter is probably much higher (these users are disproportionately likely to have disposable income which probably makes them more attractive to advertisers)

    I think nobody would mind advertisers being able to target to "subscribers". What people don't want is the ability of advertisers to target "white male who works at ACME, lives in north Fairview and bought a car last week" (which might narrow it down to just you). That said, I definitely believe that collecting subscription money would not stop them from trying to collect data about you, for advertising purposes. They'd view subscription as just a new revenue stream (yay!).

      It's like cable tv has come full circle... you pay for tv without ads, then they start having ads. Facebook will never stop collecting data on its users as long as it exists.

  If Facebook were to charge just $1/month, I'd be willing to bet they'd still lose 80% of their users, at which point, the value would be decreased enough for the remaining 20% most of them would leave too.
