Meta received about 4-5$ per user per month, so the Zuck is pulling everyone’s legs here.

Edit: 3-4$.

The users willing to pay are the most valuable users on the platform for advertisers because they are, let me consult my notes… willing to pay for things.

The logical conclusion is you must charge more for users to not get ads than your average revenue per user from ads or you end up losing money because the quality of your non paying users has taken a nose dive.

And then you lose the entire community, because of the sheer drop of the population. You can't run a social media platform with just "whales".
