Unbelievable! Facebook To Startcharging $2.99 Monthly Fee Startingnovember 1 by DrGill(m): 6:29pm On Sep 25, 2014
Nobody expected such a news story this
week, but it seems that Facebook will no
longer be a free service.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has
announced at a press conference in Menlo
Park, California that the company is unable
to keep up with the costs of Facebook and a
monthly fee for users is inevitable.
Zuckerberg has explained that Facebook is
growing with hundreds and thousands of
members signing up each day and the
advertisement system Facebook currently
uses is not enough to cover all the costs
the social media giant needs to keep the
site running.
He also said that if Facebook continues to
remain a free service, there is the
possibility of it having to shut down
because of the lack of funding.
“After thinking long and hard about this
decision, at the end of the day, we were
forced to add this monthly fee.
If we don’t do something about our rising
costs now, Facebook could cease to exist in
the near future.” – said Mark Zuckerberg.
Facebook currently has about 1.317 billion
users and if just %75 of those users start
paying the $2.99 monthly fee, the yearly
profit would be about $3 billion .
Astounding.
What Do You Think?
