Holy asumption batman. Personally if I had a coice, I wouldn't use any facebook products like their messenger, but I don't want to give up contact with the few people I can only reach trough their platform. Paying for their services isn't even an option, I bet a lot of privacy minded people like me would gladly pay a fee just so they don't track you & serve you ads, _but you can't_.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoThose services would never be so popular today if they charge money to the users, because while you or me would be willing to pay, the vast majority of users (>90%) are not willing to pay a dime for services when there are free alternatives. How do you think Google's services got so popular? From charging money for them or from offering them for free? That's the hard truth and please don't pretend you didn't already know this fact before rating about it.
- NietTim 3y agoI said option. Free tier could still exist. Good luck with your arguments.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoThat option already exists in the EU. Meta asks for 10 EUros/month in exchange for no ads. Guess how many people pay versus choose to have ads? Most people by a landslide choose the ads, because they don't see the value in paying cash to use social media. Please, enlightne me with your arguments then. Most likely when Copilot addoption gets big enough, ad free paid tiers will also pop up for those users who find it valuable, but until then it's easier to get mass adoption of a service by only having a free tier as paying money upfront for a yet unfamilar service puts off most users. That's what you don't understand.
