Research: How People Feel About Paying for Social Media Social media services such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat have implemented pay-for-subscription services (Twitter Blue, Snapchat Plus, and Meta’s bundled Facebook and Instagram Blue Badges). The buzz from users, long inundated with a large number of advertisements but now also facing subscription fees, is passionate and increasing. We asked a nationwide sample of 1,056 users for their opinions of these subscriptions (with a sampling margin of error of less than 3 percent). We analyzed 1) what users expect, 2) the quality of features, 3) prices given the quality, 4) ideal social media services, and 5) how likely the users are to subscribe.
Is the era of free social media coming to an end? Across the industry, apps are starting to charge users. In June 2022, Snapchat launched its fee-based Snapchat Plus service. Twitter followed suit in November 2022 and in February 2023 Meta (Facebook and Instagram) test-marketed a subscription bundle for their services. The price points for the subscriptions currently vary from $3.99 to $14.99, with Snapchat being at the low end and the bundle of Facebook/Instagram being at the high end, ranging from $11.99 to $14.99 depending on if a user opts for a web subscription or an IOS or Android subscription. What also varies is the users’ expectations, perceived quality of features, recognition of the value offered, potential satisfaction, and the likelihood of opting in for fee-based subscription services.

WorkWork WorkFirst Came ‘the Great Dying,’ Then This Strange Reptile Evolved  Dr. Cheng said that the timing of Hupehsuchus’s appearance, right on the heels of the mass extinction and precipitating a takeover of the oceans by reptilian predators in the era of the dinosaurs, made it more than just an evolutionary oddity. “It’s been amazing to discover how fast these large marine reptiles came on the scene and entirely changed marine ecosystems of the time,” he said.

I think if anyone makes a film that looks like a C.G. 3-D film from the last 30 years now, it’s going to feel dated.” For audiences, that’s great news.

But it was fitting that his vogue memorial had echoes of something Josephine Baker once said: “I would like to die, breathless, spent, at the end of a dance.” WorkWorkThe housing market's seller strike is so ruthless that only 7 of the nation's 200 largest markets are back to pre-pandemic inventory levels  © 2023 Fortune Media IP Limited.
