Instagram and Twitter Are Tot Free To Use Anymore
An old saying regarding the social media industry goes, “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.”
According to the adage, users who use apps like Instagram and Twitter don’t pay for them because they are giving something else away instead: their attention (and perhaps their content), which is sold to advertising.
But, this free social media paradigm, which is supported by advertising, is currently under attack. Social media firms are no longer able to generate as much revenue from their free users. Social networking applications have a tougher time selling ads due to a weakened advertising market, Apple privacy constraints that make it more difficult to follow users and their preferences, and the ongoing threat of regulation.
This is the reason why pay-to-play social media is starting to emerge as a potential new social media age.
With the “Meta Verified” program, Meta became the newest and largest significant social media business to introduce a paid version of its goods on Sunday. Users of Facebook and Instagram will each pay $12 a month in exchange for a blue verification badge, improved account impersonation prevention, access to “a real person” in customer service who can assist with common account problems, and — most importantly — “increased reach and exposure.” Those who pay will therefore see more of their material in searches, comments, and recommendations. The function is being tested by the firm this week in Australia and New Zealand, and it will soon be available in the US and other nations, according to the company.
