To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?

Who does this appeal to?

      No friends there either.

      Well to be fair I’m still enjoying Mastodon a lot and Pixelfed too (which is the better Instagram replacement) but pretty much everyone I follow is somebody I don’t know in real life. Instagram is great to see what your extended circle of friends is doing.

        That’s how it is during the first few years of social media. When left Twitter I had 75K followers but only knew about 20.

      Technically, no reason why there couldn’t be. You could even have ad bots follow you to send you targeted ads.
