Even to people who are struggling to make ends meet, there is likely some monetary value to using facebook, as many community service organizations now organize charitable events through facebook, and facebook groups are excellent resources for local information (local deals, budget-friendly groceries, giveaways). I suspect you'd still be hard-pressed to get many such people off of facebook for a year for less than $500
This was my first thought - a dollar is worth wildly different amounts to different people. If I'm struggling to put food on the table and fuel in my car, then a dollar is pretty important. If I'm sitting in my mansion sipping fine wine and contemplating what to do with the afternoon, a thousand dollars may be inconsequential.
