It's pointless to subscribu for ad-free because they're liars. They're still going to scrape your data, use it for whatever they want, and get away with it.

On a much more serious note, you know they're still taking money to boost things in search results and similar things that aren't strictly "ads" but still have some form of money to get things closer to your eyes. TikTok does this. It pays people to create things related to specific topics (or rather, people/brands pay through TikTok).

I'm glad I deleted FB and Instagram, I don't even miss it.

Only time I realised it might be any use when I wanted to check marketplace for a new fridge

Fuck paying to have social media

I quit 7 yrs or so ago. I am almost 70. If this old fart can quit so can you.

If you download & delete, your data will be available for a very limited time starting at a random moment in the next 3 weeks and the only notice you get will go to spam.

If you want your data be vigilant

Is “pay or okay” legal where you are?

If not, report the fuck out of them.

Good. The more shitty this platform gets the more people will want to leave. I hate that most people I know in the arts are stuck on this dumpster fire because “that’s where everyone else is“
