Related - what’s the basis of the idea that subscription services do not look at usage metrics, or try to drive higher use? They care just as much about engagement- they just make money from it with retention.

I can see how a cost to have an account would affect large-scale automated trolling. But I don’t see what it would do to real people sharing things they believe, or attacking people they decide to hate. How would it affect the Pelosi video? Or WhatsApp rumours in India?

One problem with the idea of a fee to use these services (for whatever reason): Jio's average monthly revenue per user is $1.80. Those users cannot afford $10/month for WhatsApp. So: what price is a barrier to troll-farms but not a barrier to basic comms for the next billion?

That is, it’s very hard to see how ‘you should have to pay to use social’ doesn’t just mean ‘no-one in emerging markets can use social’. In turn, that just means you would displace the use to apps made by (Chinese/Brazilian/Iranian/wherever) companies that ignore this whole idea

TLDR; in the bizarre event that you really could make Facebook charge a fee, everyone in the developing world would just switch to another, free app, made by another (probably Chinese) company, with all the same issues and more. <galaxybrain.gif>

Paid products do not need to maximize attention extraction, do not need to reward "engaging" via content amplification.

They absolutely need to optimize use. Otherwise people cancel the subscription. Netflix puts huge effort into optimizing use.

Please take a look at a very well researched post https://www.fast.ai/2019/05/28/google-nyt-mohan/ … by
@math_rachel. Maybe the reasoning is that should the incentive structure be different, such content would not be as extensively promoted. As it is right now, pushing such content translates to revenue. -
The short answer is that "social networks would have no problems" is not what is claimed. The question is of degree, not binary.

Does anyone make this argument?
