As far as I can tell, it's being tried as a pilot in the EU because the EU just made it illegal to sell people's data without explicit consent. The fee is basically "hey wanna pay us not to sell your data?", with the alternative of not paying but continuing to use the service being considered consent to sell data. I don't necessarily expect it to take off anywhere else that doesn't have such laws, though I guess if they get enough people on board with paying to avoid ads, they might try it. Either way, given that I'm blocking ads for free, I see little reason to pay for an ad-free experience.

web you have adblock unless they get on youtube levels of trying to block it. what if you pay for mobile? would that include web ad free or they really trying to charge you like $20 for both?

they already make billions off ad revenue. really doubt many in the states would pay for it. i already just browse it a few times a day. usually when i'm bored at work. other than that it's mainly just for messenger. definitely wouldn't pay for it.
