It is not ads that people are against when it comes to Facebook.
The common concerns are about its algorithmic feed, recommendations, research experiments etc that allow subtle manipulation for commercial and political gains. You can still be subjected to the rampant invasion of privacy.
If someone is planning on paying to remove ads and avoid all of the above, I'm certain that they will be disappointed.
- crowcroft 3y agoThose two things are incredibly related. The reason algorithmic feeds are they way they are etc. is so that they can optimise ad load and make more money. They want you be sucked into anything they possibly can to get you to scroll more, and see more ads. If they move to a subscription model the incentives change significantly.
