    But will it actually be ad-free, or just personalized ad-free?

    Because if it’s actually ad-free, you might find a decent number of people willing to pay it. (Especially those without the technical know-how to block ads, a small fee is probably worth it to them.)

    If it’s just personalized ad-free, and still has generic ads, you’ll have basically nobody who gives enough of a shit to pay.

      Under the plans, which have been discussed with regulators in Brussels and Ireland, Meta would offer an ad-free version of Instagram and Facebook for those willing to pay, or a free version for those who consent to be targeted by ads based on their personal information, these people said.
