#DailyBloggingChallenge (104/200)

Learnt today of the news that #Instagram and #Facebook will be giving their users a third choice of using their product in the #EEA (European Economic Area) by subscribing to their services for a monthly fee of €9.99 for web users, and €12.99 for #iOS and #Android users.

Currently inconclusive how I feel of this development. The only thing I can say is that before I start paying for a service that I use as a complete distraction, I would forfeit it and support open source alternatives that can create similar experiences.

The side effect of this is that there might be an upswing of #Pixelled and #Friendica users, similar to the #Twitter migration. Some have speculate that some will migrate to #TikTok instead.
