@here What do we think about Instagram starting to charge users in the EU for an ad-free experience?

I personally will just keep ads… will be interesting to see how it affects their user base

It's a common model now so not surprised. I'd keep ads on mine though for inspiration

Does it say how much it is?

€7.99 - which seems expensive/misaligned when compared w Netflix & other subscriptions

that's an interesting point, it will become harder and harder to reach those types of users
