Here me out. You pay say $9.99 for a entire year, you see no adds and have access to premium content. I would pay it. I don’t work at Facebook, but maybe I should.

    It depends on how much FB is earning per year per user. They are definitely earning more that $9.99 per user per year, otherwise their annual revenue would not be more than $20B. Hence they won't come up with the paid plan you suggested especially at that price.

      Their annual revenue is around $50B. With 1.2B active users. We need to consider future potential to earn additional revenue from active users. So my best guess $5.99 a month to get ad free version of all apps under FB umbrella.

    What is this premium content you are talking about on fb. Even without ads, I am not paying a single penny for all the egotistical or politically opinionated posts from my connections there.
