    $14 a month is an incredibly large amount, maybe if it also allowed you to disable reels and go to a chronological feed it would be nice for some but still. Says a lot about the value per customer I guess.

      The article says it’s $10.50/month? Seems like it’s priced relative to the market. YouTube’s premium membership is $15, but you can do a lot more on Facebook compared to YouTube (not just videos but also wall posts, messaging, photos, groups, events, dating, birthday reminders, etc) and their costs would be similar to Google in terms of data centers, servers, employees, etc.

      You’d be surprised how much it costs to run a major web service that has a lot of content. Google search would cost at least that (if not more) per month if it was a paid service.
