Facebook: $9.99/month, would you pay? - GoFuckYourself.com

Intrinsic · 08-25-2010, 06:02 PM

Yes/No?????

Bird · 08-25-2010, 06:03 PM

facebook should be paying the users

mmcfadden · 08-25-2010, 06:06 PM

There is a million and three different ways to make money other then subscription to a site made popular bc of free. The answer is no... facebook2 or facebook3 would then emerge

kane · 08-25-2010, 06:08 PM

I don't use it now and it is free, no way I would pay for it

WiredGuy · 08-25-2010, 06:14 PM

Nope, because 90% of people won't pay which means I'd have no reason to pay anymore.
WG

CYF · 08-25-2010, 06:24 PM

they've already stated they won't charge, and who the fuck would pay for it anyways?

woj · 08-25-2010, 06:26 PM

hell no...

spazlabz · 08-25-2010, 06:53 PM

you do not provide a "FUCK NO!" option in there so I just voted no

Spunky · 08-25-2010, 06:55 PM

I wouldn't pay a dollar

camgirlshide · 08-25-2010, 07:26 PM

I could see them trying to sell some of the games, but they would be dead if they charged a per user fee just to get on the site. I think they know that already though.

Semi-Retired-Dave · 08-25-2010, 09:39 PM

I'm not on Facebook, but even if they charged 1.99, they would still make 100 Million dollars a month from their 500 million users. Give the free users limited access to the site, and for full access, charge the 1.99.

It's a big gamble, but may be worth it. If they can't pay that, they are never going to pay for any of the advertising on there.

I'll even do the processing, someone, get mark zuckerberg on the phone.

PornAffiliate · 08-25-2010, 09:53 PM

no f way. i guess they can sell facebook t'shirts etc if they want money. if they charge $1 a year i believe we would see a competitor very soon.

Trend · 08-25-2010, 10:09 PM

They will charge and millions will pay. Eventually most ( FB, Twitter, Youtube etc ) will offer a low cost "freemium" or micro transaction model.

People joke sometimes about LinkedIn but ponder this fact:

2010: Tiger Global Management LLC purchased a 1% stake in LinkedIn for 20 million.

Their revenue streams:
a. subscription fees
b. advertising
c. services ( job placement services etc )

Argos88 · 08-25-2010, 10:59 PM

no way... in fact, being free makes ZUCKERBERG (the new maddoff) a multi millionaire, for doing nothing..

ZUCKERBERG does nothing, he just sit down, while millions of users work for free, adding content to facebook every day...

great business model, based on suer generated content..

.

Pseudonymous · 08-25-2010, 11:04 PM

Im not sure if it's been posted but it's not that I wouldn't pay to be on facebook. It's the fact that most wouldn't pay and what makes facebook what it is, is the fact that it's free and everybody is on it.

And because of the need for a credit card payment, there goes most members under 19, simply for the reason that they cannot get their hands on one.

Edit: Sorry WiredGuy pretty much said what I had to say, in a much shorter way. ;)

CaptainWolfy · 08-26-2010, 02:32 AM

no way in hell

damnage · 08-26-2010, 03:18 AM

Never going to happen lol.

Its the perfect model as it is. Traffic willing to drive itself and supply its own content.

We're in the wrong business haha

sojproductions · 08-26-2010, 03:29 AM

fuck no..

TeenCat · 08-26-2010, 03:36 AM

that would ruin life of millions of people ...

Theo · 08-26-2010, 03:38 AM

funny how many people from our industry wouldn't pay $9/month for a service they whore themselves out 24/7

closer · 08-26-2010, 03:39 AM

I don't even think they need to do just that if you see that they'll make something like 1.1 billion this year on advertising alone!

http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/22/facebook-revenues/

Add in the option to pay for the games and other nonsense ...

ottopottomouse · 08-26-2010, 03:52 AM

Serious question:

If they introduced a $10 subscription and it killed the site, where would all the users move to instead?

xmas13 · 08-26-2010, 03:57 AM

Horny Joe · 08-26-2010, 04:04 AM

No! I use and I like FB, but pay... No way! I am not that addicted to it

NetHorse · 08-26-2010, 04:05 AM

I'm about to close my account. I'm tired of old friends and family I've avoided for so many years being able to track me down. Those son of a bitches owe me money.

xholly · 08-26-2010, 04:23 AM

porn site membership $30 a month. Would you pay?

its all out there for free you know

beta-tester · 08-26-2010, 04:40 AM

to the next one, I remember people on myspace saying facebook was shit and they would never leave myspace and how great myspace was etc.

You aren't the person that starts all those 'hell, no we won't pay for Facebook' Facebook groups are you? If so, I slightly admire you ability to get so many of the people on my list to believe they might charge.

xmas13 · 08-26-2010, 05:46 AM

sweetcuties · 08-26-2010, 05:51 AM

I'm not on it either... I think it's good if they charge, at least something!

WE NEED TO GET SURFERS OUT OF THE MINDSET THAT SHIT IS ALWAYS FREE

michael.kickass · 08-26-2010, 05:54 AM

They own the rights of every picture uploaded, thinking about charging a fee is totally out of the question. So no, hell no, I won't pay for Facebook.

Doctor Dre · 08-26-2010, 06:12 AM

I use it a lot for my business, but it would probably kill it. Even with 5 % of their active users it would be a good investement thought.

tranza · 08-26-2010, 06:38 AM

Hell no!!

bronco67 · 08-26-2010, 07:16 AM

It's a good business model. Give away something good for free. Get people insanely hooked on it. Start charging.

Some will bail, but the ones who are hooked like its the chronic, and can't function without it will pay, and in Facebook's case that's a lot of people.

Is this a hypothetical topic, or is it really happening?

FeelMyTube · 08-26-2010, 07:53 AM

no because then most people would move out and it would loose its interest (less people, less contacts, etc.), good thing about fb now is that you can find EVERYONE there and msg them.

they should charge for some premium feature but not for using it or they will destry it even for the people that were originally willing to pay...

AmeliaG · 08-26-2010, 07:57 AM

I used to pay for LiveJournal, but today, with something like Facebook, I'm kind of not into paying for the privilege of having someone else force their values on me for how to live my life, so they can sell my personal data to Experian or other data miners like that.

Amputate Your Head · 08-26-2010, 08:04 AM

I don't even use it now... when it's free.

Not sure if I will be the only one on the planet to never use Facebook, but I will definitely be one of them.

xholly · 08-26-2010, 08:09 AM

used to be able to get fucked up at a party and keep it quiet, now someone takes your photo when your pissed off your nut and sticks it on facebook for everyone to see

Denny · 08-26-2010, 08:20 AM

I think everyone underestimates the mega power of Facebook. This free site will make Billions in profits real soon.
