Then I shall not look at it at all. Some months ago Facebook gave me the "ads vs payment" ultimatum. I closed the tab and didn't log into Facebook since.

That's good, but everyone has only a limited amount of social capital to refuse popular things. School teachers, which are essentially agents of the government, often make your children watch Youtube videos, for example.
Yeah like, I went to middle/high school 2008-2014, when Facebook was so popular that it's kinda hard to imagine today. I didn't have one. At some point I was so out of the loop that nobody even told me we had a freshman dance. In hindsight, could've just used it for a few minutes a week, so that's what I did in college.
Also have a burner Twitter just because that was the only damn way to contact the DMV in 2020.
What's the "ads vs payment" ultimatum, they block ad-blockers? Occasionally someone sends me a link there, and it never bothers me for having uBO.
Basically this:

It's a region-locked subscription available in the EU and a few other countries. Before that they were intensifying efforts to derail adblockers, which already made the site painful to use (and, ironically, easier drop entirely). Personally I had issues loading the feed and posting comments, but until it occurred to me to disable uBlock for a moment, I was chalking it up to "move fast and break things" (emphasis on the latter).
