    No joke that would be great for privacy and putting users first. Users would go the product to the customers and the platform would actually need to cater to them.

    The same would happen with Twitter.

    Now, social media depends on its massive size, so even if makes the platform more user-centric, it would reduce the amount of users and reduce its value.

      So there’s a metric called “ARPU” for social media, average revenue per user.

      Facebook’s monthly ARPU for America+Europe is $30 (Reddit’s is .49, lol)

      This is actually a pretty fair price for the service. And should be a legal requirement as an option tied to ARPU.
