I dropped both in November when they asked me to pay more than I do Netflix just to stop showing me ads (not even to stop tracking me!)
The amount of extra time that I gained overnight is scary. I’ve already read/listened to 10 books since and it’s been almost 20 years since I last finished a book!
In November Facebook started rolling out ad-free subscriptions. Before that you could set it to show ads that were not targeted. But after November this was no longer an option (in EU). You now have to accept targeted ads or pay for an ad-free subscription per account across Facebook and Instagram.
The link bellow is meta’s own description but they don’t mention that they no longer support untargeted ads like they used to
That’s just garbage talk. Sure we can enjoy life now and not consider the future of the planet but is your life more worth than the future of our own species? I find it deeply concerning that we as humans know what to do to not go extinct, buy don’t do it.
I don’t expect all human reproduction to just stop. But cutting down on the human population by either having no children or only one, would substantially reduce the load humans place on the planet and mayne even increase quality of life. Not to mention that it would improve the chances of other species to thrive.
Tried our hand at making deep dish pizza for new years. Turned out quite good but I’m no expert so I can’t say how accurate it was. I am told the toppings are supposed to all go under the sauce but I couldn’t resist putting some pepperoni on top
I’ve never had a Facebook account or any other social media. I know they keep shadow profiles, but I’ve never given permission. I never had any interest and frankly still don’t....
Don’t do it. I have stopped using Facebook and Instagram since November when they give me the choice to either pay a crazy amount or accept targeted ads.
The amount of time that I suddenly have is crazy. I have already read 7 books and Its been 20 years since I last had read a book!
Not to mention all the negativity and toxicity that I no longer get exposed to.
Its people own fault of they judge you by your being online of social media or not. That said, I don’t think you’d be any better if they did value you on what you do online.
Maybe you can create a website with your basic information a few pictures and a short descriptive text. It’s kind of a business card style website that will show up when people search your name on Google

I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…...
Yes. Sweden is currently a perfect example of how to unionize. I actually just found out that ubionsnin the US can’t strike in solidarity (is this what you mean by unilaterally)?
