I think this is showing both how much your data is worth, and what it costs to actually run / use these services. People don’t want to pay, but I’ve always thought pay for a service was a potentially much less shitty business model. However, instead what we often get now is both pay for a service and still privacy invasion / selling our data. And who’s going to trust Facebook here?
Your last question nails it. Why would you ever trust meta? And without a huge contingent of people going with you, it’d be hard to pay for a new social service that you could potentially believe won’t at all profile you.

yeah same with YouTube plus: if you pay, they can sell your data at a premium, because you’re in the group that can be made to pay
