I dont even want FB for free. THEY would have to pay ME
They better hire me properly to even consider opening that page once, let alone multiple times.
I wouldn't even use it if they paid me to
@@_ChristIsTheTruth Nah, there's always a treshold after which people will agree no matter what (unless they're insane)
Same, the only reason i even have an account is because i would get reward for linking it in a game.
Can we just get rid of FB/Meta etc
Facebook have to give me $144 per day for me to consider using Facebook sometimes.
My housemate used to work for Facebook, and deleted his account when they were no longer paying him
Move your friebds abs family to signal if you wanna keep in contact with people
Welcome to Floatplane user verification! Tuna tier for $4, Dolphin tier for $9, Whale for $15, and the Balaenoptera tier! Each tier gives you more authenticity than the last, and the Balaenoptera tier adds a whole pixel to the Whale tier mark (and nothing else)!
😂
@Sukhu Bgmi is that a spam bot ?
@Ken G Only if it comes in a can.
@Sukhu Bgmi add more rice 👍
ALL legacy verification on Twitter is going away (INCLUDING for LTT) in the next 2 months.
Elon has already tweeted that info out. And that is because MANY legacy verified accounts are fake, and were given a blue check because some corrupt politician or the mainstream media called into Twitter and told them to verify an account (many DNC bot accounts are verified) and the old Twitter would just give the blue check within seconds, no verification process needed. So some may want to say Twitter Blue is being made fun of, but the fact remains that Twitter Blue is the ONLY real verified process. Elon stated a long time ago, do you think the politicians and mainstream media are going to pay for all their fake accounts?
having to pay for verification is terrible. verification should be “this account is who they say they are” now its being used as “i’m important now, pay attention to me because i bought a blue badge”. the amount of misinformation that will circulate because of these payed verification badges is going to be massive, especially in older people.
Im fine with paying for verification as in you are paying for them to go through the process of actually verifying you because it takes time out of their day. But verification without checks for money is stupid
Thing with Twitter is that it _already was_ an "I'm important now." The difference is that they've said the quiet part out loud now. It was never about "I am who I say I am" or else they wouldn't have stripped people of their verification for voicing opinions that someone didn't like.
The issue of paying for "verification" was revealed when it was created, there was a flood of "verified" Elon Musks, and yeah countermeasures were taken but not everyone can get the same level of support as easily as the literal CEO, it's a bad system named in a way that misrepresents it's actual functionality to the determent of the user base.
Yeah, Facebook's help-center is laughable at best, trauma inducing at worst. I used to be an admin on a Facebook page at my last job, where I had an anomaly that their help center didn't have an answer for. It is impossible to contact anyone via chat, phone or email.
I cannot even create a new account. The verification code I need is not sending. How do you fail this bad.
In the messenger landing page, there no button to create an account. Seriously....
Customer support is a feature because they have virtually none of it. Especially if they ban your account for no reason at all - it’s engineered to be impossible to contact them at all. Ironic for a “social” media company.
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
Look at Mr. Moneybags over here... I'm sneaking out corndogs, he's sneaking them in!
@@williamyt6174 WAHAHAHAHAHHA
Thank you, you are my hero
I like all of this. Take your act on the road Hope and Crosby!
I've readen this before, I'm calling copy-pasta
I love how LTT actually reads comments and listens to its community to improve the business.
Can't wait for my blue checkmark on my blockbuster account
Haven't opened Facebook in 3 years. I don't use Instagram, twitter, Snapchat, TikTok etc. I really don't feel I'm missing anything. My only "social media platform" is CZcams and to some extent, discord. And tbh, YT-shorts suck. You should be able to filter all shorts if you want to..
You absolutely can remove youtube shorts, they just come back every month
Meta: "Twitter's doing it so that means we can too." Gold. 🤣
Pay to use this service, and in return you’re still the product.
I've got through lifelike so far with out using FB. Yes I signed on in 2009, because of people, but I've opened it like 3 times. I guess in the last 10 years they've collected lots of data about me without me caring too much. BUT I HATE the way subscriptions for useless life-needs are becoming a real thing.
Kill me now!
I have an account, but none of their apps, other than WA, so I don't think they have much on me.
Useless life needs?
Same here. Because people. I lurked around it maybe 5 times a year, usually if sick or absolutely bored out of my ass. My last several "lurks" back in 2018 or 2019 were unbelievably frustrating experiences. I killed my account my last time.
I have 100% same story, didn't miss a single thing clearly.
you would rather get paywalled out of life needs? :^
entertainment and such areas being subscription-based makes sense perfectly
Meta would need to pay me more than what their company costs to get me on Facebook
Whale tier: you can send one GPU per month to linux and he'll drop it on camera for free!
With, "free merch". You can allow people to select from items and if they don't choose anything they can get a credit which carries over. So maybe after awhile it's possible they can use the credit to get more expensive merch like the Screwdriever or backpack.
This is actually a great idea
@@ozmond Actually I do, I had started a similar program to this @ store I worked at part time. The credit I gave didn't equal the price of the, "free" item, but it was a hugely successful program while I was there.
100 stars for $12 Stars are worth $0.01 what a bargain
if there's a check mark tier on floatplane, then there needs to be a half check mark, which is just the check mark .PNG left side
As an old head, FB was a ton of fun before they opened the flood gates. They basically merged drinking water and sewage pipes and lauded the increase in volume.
The twitter one I understood what he was going for. I ain’t gonna buy it but see the goal.
These Facebook ones are ridiculous though😅. You get even less for an even sillier platform
Honestly, A subscription for a verified tier is compelling if implemented correctly.
No ads, No datamining (kek), verified real user (separated from bots/anons), more engaged in public discourse, actual customer support (dedicated line), FB marketplace visibility / protection against scams (this is super important) etc other things actually important.
Note that a "free" tier without data "selling" and ad-infested page is unsustainable in the long run. Somewhere somewhat should have a revenue generating mechanism.
Still won't pay for Meta though. It's a fckn SCAM. I mainly use FB for marketplace / group marketplace. Not that hard to spot BS scammers, but will be useful to know you are dealing with "a real person"
But they’re tracking everything you do with marketplace and those other stuff.
@@rock-n-party9241 and you can get stuff for a tiny fraction of its actual value. All of life has tradeoffs.
I like how Linus made a 180 of verification when he realised he could make stacks from selling a badge. Truth is, people love being different and standing out with a blue tick badge is a status symbol that for years, many have wanted but could never achieve.
he said the floatplane customers are literally asking for it and he would check again "when the memes are over" to make sure people aren't asking for it as a meme. matter of fact Luke literally says "why do you guys want this?" So I don't think your perspective on Linus is correct here lol
@@devilselbow I'm not sure you fully understood Rainer's reply... Also, Linus and Luke said multiple times in the video that the biggest problem is finding something to give of value to the audience. That they wouldn't add tiers unless it made sense, which was their whole gripe with Meta and Twitter.
You can subscribe and still get all the ads? Wow, what a deal!
I thought we were gonna find out Linus bought META stock for $144
Their customer support is terrible. I don’t use fb anymore.
Can we stop normalising subscriptions in general? Like most subscriptions imply that the app or service will be constantly improved, upgraded and new features introduced, but what are you ACTUALLY getting with things like Meta Verified or Twitter Blue??
Honestly, as someone who's ALWAYS in between sizes for almost EVERYTHING, I'd TOTALLY buy a shirt in "extra medium"
Yes.....I was born yesterday and own the Brooklyn Bridge.
Say what you will, 90% of my Twitter feed has Twitter blue
you did not mention that the tumblr checks can, at any given moment, all turn into crabs. THAT was the selling point.
Oh I forgot that lmao. Sadly I never experienced the crabs because I've only been on mobile :(
Tumblrs important internet checkmarks are amazing. They do nothing and they're upfront with it. It's entirely to make fun of twitter. Plus you get twice as many as with Twitter for the same price
Linus you sweet summer child, there is no Facebook support for normal users. My partner's Facebook account was hacked, and there was almost no support at all. The account was linked to an ad account at her workplace, and despite the ad account being behind an MFA wall they were still able to take it over. Support was absolutely shocking. No explanation was ever offered as to how it happened.
Facebook is a dead dream. That ship has sailed.
Yeah I mean the ONLY reason I keep my YTM subscription at this point is the fact it comes with no ads on YT. $12/mo is steep for that for *Facebook* but Twitter’s $8 isn’t absurd if I knew I’d never see another ad and I had an imaginary verbal promise of no data sales.
Facebook just spent the last 3 years overstepping their bounds with moderation and now they’re asking for a subscription. I don’t even use my account anymore.
Should look at the support for star link. No phone number to call. Just 3-5weeks for a response for a support ticket. Even though they just sent there prices up more.
When companies have optional subscriptions they usually have 1-2 main features to sell it, then a bunch of fillers. The issue with Twitter Blue is the ONLY big promoted feature is a blue check next to your name
Last time I checked, the actual total yearly value for your data is about $120 a year, so if you paid that much a year, you wouldn’t have to get ads
It’s impossible to contact Facebook support currently
Even my grandma stopped using Facebook. The only reason she still opens it is for playing the bajillionth level of candy crush.
How about a charity tier where members get all the previous tier benefits and half the cost goes to a charity where Linus and Luke can shortlist a bunch of charities and the community can vote to choose which one they want to donate to every month?
If you really want to donate, go donate to small charities. Multinational charities aren't efficient. They spend so much of executive pays and other stuff.
@@triparadox.c depends if they open their own charity where they can build or donate computers to schools etc then they can benefit from a tax rebate on money donated through them. money for the charity and less money to the government to spend on tech videos. its a win-win-win
If people want a “merch” level subscription, you could instead of sending merch directly, they get send a gift card on say quarterly basis (or whatever) and the person could then use it on whatever or save it up for something else. Could go in line with exclusive offers. Some channels provide a custom item each quarter so instead of sending that item, people would have the option to buy or pass. You likely would want to do this more in line with shirts where you can get the buy in with enough head room to align demand with supply. The other channels who offer membership perks like this seem to end up with a stock of un used custom merch they have to deal with at a later date.
2:55 There are occasions where you would need some sort of facebook support. And good luck finding it. A restaurant near me couldn't use it anymore after enabling two factor authentication (although providing a valid mobile number). I think they still try to find any kind support from facebook. Not actually use it, just trying to find it. I think I had issues with my account a few years ago and wasn't able to find any reachable support either. So yea, you don't need support most of the time - which should be the normal. But if you do and can't get any, its another whole level of frustration.
Id pay for it IF it removed ads and would guarantee that i didnt get banned anymore.
Paying for Facebook only makes sense for companies.
Yep, and mainly for the Instagram blue check 😂
The Instagram support side is pretty much non existent. I am stuck in a 2fa loop but no way of escaping. I've had to physically write letters to them three times and they also go unanswered.
the main reason i use facebook is the ads are usually books and that gets me to add to my book collection that i dont buy and just add to wish list and then forget about :D
Re: Facebook, Customer support is kind of useful. I have been unable to talk to literally anyone about any account issues, or even platform issues where some features are broken. Admittedly, support for users would be nice given we are already PAYING for it with our advertising eyeballs.
I'd pay the money in e heartbeat to get an organic feed like we used to have. Give me the stuff from the pages I like, and let me decide whether I want ads or not (as SOME of the ads eg for live gigs etc might actually be relevant/useful). Oh, and un-break features like photos, tagging, etc. The old Facebook UI had great features that they broke in the move to the simplified UI and I find Facebook less useful as a result.
It's because you're not the costumer. You are the product. They don't offer product support.
@@Tremoneck I am also a business customer through their advertising services. I can’t sell my product or services to people through Facebook if people aren’t engaging with the platform.
If I gave them money as a consumer, would I then be a customer? It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Why would you ever even use a service where there is no customer support for non-paid accounts. Not only would I not pay for this service, I would stop using the non-paid version.
"Stars to tip users" is literally the EXACT feature from the Flipnote Hatena service on the Nintendo DSi. Who HASN'T Meta copied at this point?
i lost my account on Facebook they have no way to contact or talk to an actual human.
you could probably do like a mini currency like twitch bits, you just buy them separately from a subscription or whatever and then you can either gift them to creators or buy merch with them
50+ people and fb marketplace are what keep the boat floating over at meta
I called this 5 years ago if they charge everybody$2 to$5 mandatory they would have made a lot of money
As I watch this clip I notice the links in the bottom righthand corner of the banner below the video listing their "other socials" with fb & insta symbols haha
There is zero support for users who have had their account locked, which also locks a business page. We've had our account locked out because of an employee re-posting a meme made from a television commercial, 2 years after the fact... on their personal page.
Many of these platforms have no actual effective support, unless you have big numbers in your bank account, or have political connections.
I would be happy to pay for these things if they advertised that they stop tracking you....
The obvious solution for not wanting waste is instead giving people store credit, that they can use to get the merch they would actually use/wear
This tech companies are absolutely are stuck in their ways. If Twitter offered a $5 per month privacy package where it removed ads and data mining, I’d be tempted.
LoL read title and assumed it went bust 🤣
I would never pay for fb or Twitter.... Especially when Twitter had a security breach recently... You think I'll give these guys my credit card info? NEVER
I intellectually believe that subscription based social media platforms would be better personally and socially than the ad and data sale model currently in vogue.
But I also can't see myself paying for one.
Regarding the "Extram Medium" , in the helicopter business, the size between medium and heavy is "super medium"
I mean anything is possible these days really.
People think subscriptions are the norm, what happened to "I pay once, I (ACTUALLY) own it forever".
Lots of things are online, and you need a phone number and an email; the fast food restaurant down the street (paying nearly minimum wage) doesn't have physical applications.
When a big company wrongs its customers/equivalent, the solution is to blow it up on social media until the company apologizes; how many people actually support the competition?
Even crypto scams are making big bucks.
So there's bound to be some people out there willing to accept a dumb cash-cow idea (hint: they know they're the cow) and make it the new standard.
Also you don't have an ad blocker???
Nope on any $ for FB, Twitter Blue, or any social media. No one needs it, no one.
Suggestion for shirt size between M and L - ML, Medium-Large. Motorcycle helmets do this already
The only way I would get this is if it made the content I watch on Facebook ad free, and I still prob wouldn’t buy it. The literal only reason I have Facebook is to watch 1-2 streamers.
Adblockers are free, and if you're on PC you don't even need them, just use your HOSTS file.
I'm tired, so when I read the title I thought it meant Meta was selling Facebook as an IP for $144, and to be honest my first thought was, "Shit that's a bit much isn't it?"
Motorcycle helmets are sometimes available in a medium/large size that is between medium and large to get a closer fit
Instagram’s stars TOS for creators says that you aren’t even entitled to convert the tipped stars to cash and that the platform has the complete right to decide whether to pay you your own tips or not. Kinda ridiculous monetization, not even legally entitled to the money generated.
Just wait for CZcams to charge monthly subscription
Facebook should be called Facenuts lmao.
The intro animation/jingle was one of the things that kind of sparked my interest in LTT
Today I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic TYGR 300R with the money I saved from never considering that stupid, stupid purchase.
They are redoing the European support team by shrinking it significantly and moving all Eastern European language support to 🇩🇪.
If Facebook payed me $144 a week I still wouldn't use it.
Certain Facebook users with a particular status were getting direct support from Meta for issues on the platform; this conveniently terminated at the end of Jan this year.
I guess to pave way for the paid support.
So now I don’t get support anymore. Regular users have no way to get hold of a real person at Facebook for any meaningful help with an issue they face.
And individual user is just a rounding error on a rounding error so costs more to support than they get back I bet.
Social Media is a Joke. Thank god for LMG
Proactively adding a way to tip Instagram and Facebook creators. Essentially eliminating the effect of spamming accounts because legitimate accounts pay.
Those aren’t bad things.
Sounds like the creator warehouse is listening to the F**k Face Podcast
What does "Verified" even mean anymore?
Extra-Medium is the most hilarious size I have ever heard of.
Why have only your customers pay you when you could also have your products pay you?
imagine paying to have your data sold to advertisers
Almost spit out my coffee with the extra medium
The irony is that Twitter Blue will probably end up being significantly more successful. I still don't understand why this is so expensive. Imagine if it was actually reasonable, like 50 cents a month; many millions of people would sign up for sure. . Too bad about payment processing fees.
So is he trying to take us to school?
"increased search visibility" really means that they will lower visibility for those that doesnt pay.
Since when has Facebook had support?
Several years ago, at least 6, they banned me from commenting on news sites (the comments section at the bottom of non-FB pages, like with Disqus) without telling me why. I was very confused because I never, ever attack anyone personally in internet comments. I sent FB support probably a half dozen emails, all extremely professional, before eventually just giving up. The account is still banned to this day. I never got an explanation.
I am surprised no one mentioned this, but I HIGHLY doubt it is "Direct Customer Support"
It is going to be a chat bot probably.
I would pay 144$/second for the company, but I wouldn't even pay 1$ for a lifetime of this subscription.
Getting back my account without actual "user facing" support was a fucking torture.
Does anyone even use Facebook? And if they do, why would they pay?
Ok but I'm in that range between large and medium and I would *absolutely* buy it labeled as "extra medium".
The best thing Facebook has going for it is FB marketplace. If you do make the whale mark, make it SUPER cheesey. Like, either a winking smiling and thumbs up whale leaning its elbow on the ring around it (like the scalloped ring around twitter blue). Or, have the shape of the whale be the check mark. Either would make great emotes
Facebook marketplace is trash. I literally have to use all my brainpower to find the legitimate ads amongst the sponsored ads.
As a resident photographer for several places, a musician -- someone who self brands -- I would probably pay for it.
In my experience with Facebook, they don't have support for the user
Just add to the whale tier when you buy merch an additional option to get it signed. It might cost more depending on who you choose to sign it
Facebook: 144$ to use Facebook
Also Facebook: But we’ll steal and sell your personal information for free !
