Damn, I was reading this and my head was correcting it to $14/mo for an ad-free experience, and even that was ridiculous.

$14/mo for "ads, but we pinky swear that we won't use the data we're still definitely collecting on you to prepare your ads" is just a joke.

How about instead, Meta pays out $14/mo per user, for the data they're collecting?
