I had turned targeted ads off, on Facebook and Instagram. I still got ads but they were not targeted based on my data. I could live with that

Today I got a popup requiring me to pick an option of either accepting targeted ads or pay the equivalent of €13/$14 for an addfree experience across all meta platforms.

    But it’s not ads in general I personally am opposed. It’s the fact that they have removed the option to show untargeted ads. I personally don’t mind ads but now they force either parsonalized ads or subscription

    It was not their livelihood that was at stake, but the potential for more profit
