Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media
(gizmodo.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I love the idea of paid social media.
Theres so few people who'd pay for it that all the social media companies would, hopefully, collapse and cure us of one of the worst technoplagues of the 21st century.
I'd pay some reasonable subscription, say $1 a month to the maintainer of lemm.ee for the promise to keep my data safe. To Zuck and Elon absolutely not.
I pay like $2 or $3 a month to lemm.ee dev, its worth it to me.
It would just be corporations paying for it, and paying for ever more direct access to individuals.
I would not be that sure. As long as they will offer the choice between paying with cash or with data, social media companies will survive.
Yeah or you pay with your data or you pay with your money and they still steal your data like YouTube premium and etc
Yeah web site cost money and developers need food. So its adds, subs or donations
