To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?
I want to make the, "free", moniker illegal. Advertisers have to pay money for ads and they get that money from us when we buy their products. In addition to having to look at ads, we also have to pay money for the privilege of looking at them. Any ad supported service is objectively not free. No thanks.

Well of course not, why should it be free?
Neither Meta nor Google, TikTok etc. are charitable Organizations, they are businesses with the intent to make money.
Either you pay or you see Ads, or don't use the service, it's that simple.
