majority of the people won’t sing up for this
But have they (Facebook, Twitter or even Google) tried though? FB has billion plus users last I checked - if 10% of them pay $3 a month for no ads/no tracking etc, that is 300M a month. They can also charge businesses a lot more ("official" pages or whatever else they can cook up) and that can be even bigger revenue stream. I am not on FB anymore, so I don't know if they charge for anything - I won't be surprised if they didn't even bother to try
