I thought Jeff Bezos had an excellent saying on this in one of his Kindle launches a number of years back. He said, \u201cThere are companies that work hard to charge you more, and there are companies that work hard to charge you less.\u201d And at Facebook, we are squarely in the camp of the companies that work hard to charge you less and provide a free service that everyone can use.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Facebook would not be the size that it is if it charged people money but it would be nearly as huge if it gave individuals the ability to pay for an experience where they are not tracked, monetized and served ads. There\u2019s a difference between Freemium and a straight subscription model. Plain and simple a page that says \u201cWe make money by selling your data like every other free service \/ app available and if you don\u2019t like that, you can give us $15 a year and we won\u2019t use your most intimate thoughts, ideas and photos to make money\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some people would pay and Facebook would not be in this mess. When a service doesn\u2019t give me the ability to pay, I don\u2019t use it. I pay for everything I use online when it\u2019s a place that\u2019s storing my personal data. If they don\u2019t take my money, who\u2019s money are they taking?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Vox: Tim Cook:\u00a0\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be in this situation,\u201d and argued that Apple sells products to users, it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-04-02T14:16:27Z","apple_news_api_id":"6da76428-515b-4bf6-a47d-c244fa5a4dc3","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-04-02T14:16:29Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AbadkKFFbS_akfcJE-lpNww","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Vh","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3903,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2013\/01\/02\/ryan-block-on-ny-times-bits-blog-why-im-quitting-instagram\/","url_meta":{"origin":7395,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Ryan Block on NY Times Bits Blog &#8211; &#8220;Why I\u2019m Quitting Instagram&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"January 2, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Ryan Block is an uber cool guy.
