Free social media coming to an end?

Meta is rolling out globally paid subscription plans for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. From anonymous Story viewing and custom chat themes to next-generation AI "thinking modes," the social media giant is majorly shaking up its business model.

But don't panic just yet; the free versions aren't going anywhere, at least for now.

The video below gives a breakdown of what these new 'Plus' and 'Meta One' plans will mean for the users.

  1. $3 a month is nothing in western countries, and I would hope the charge is less in countries where income levels are lower. But if you multiply that by even 2% of the above social media platform users, it will be a huge amount of money for very little expenditure.
