Facebook Announces $12/Month 'Meta Verified' Subscription Service

I might consider it in order for my wife to get her FB Account back. It was taken over. Email changed. Phone number changed. And the automated systems don't seem to be able to help.
 
“If a service is free, you’re the product”

“Yeah? Well at least the product is free”

Blue check peeps be like:

Paying for visibility? This is just stupid.

That depends on how one uses Facebook. Individuals can make money on FB in a variety of ways and the more views and attention their activity can get on the platform, the more money they can potentially make. The "increased visibility" is comparable to businesses paying for advertising, higher search placement, etc.

Inevitable. I’m not paying for blue and I’m not paying for this. Hard pass.

Well, I'd imagine it would only be businesses and well-known people who would really need this, and I'm guessing most of us aren't famous enough (even locally) that others would want to impersonate us 😂

Years ago Facebook asked me to upload a government ID so that I could continue my account.
Goodbye Facebook. I trust Zuckerberg and Meta as far as I can throw an elephant.

Fine, but Facebook should really do this anyways.

  • More protection from impersonation with proactive account monitoring for impersonators who might target people with growing online audiences.
This should be done anyways.

  • Help when you need it with access to a real person for common account issues.
Facebooks support has always sucked, this should be free

  • Increased visibility and reach with prominence in some areas of the platform- like search, comments and recommendations.
Paying for visibility? This is just stupid.

  • Exclusive features to express yourself in unique ways.
Funny exclusive stickers and graphics?
Nah, I’m good.

This is proof that Apples privacy rules are working..
Facebook should be providing the above for free as it is.

So Zuck is asking users to pay for features that should have been there all along? Weird.
I'll be curious to see how many pony up. I know my mom will not be one of those.

Kinda tricky, given that I’m using a fake name there after closing my real name account. Because the Zuckwit has no cred.
 
Pay ANY AMOUNT to Facebook? For ANYTHING? That's just about the hardest NO I can imagine besides paying Twitter ANY AMOUNT for ANYTHING 🤣
