Why do people do their absolute hardest to keep these shitty services alive? Facebook and Insta aren't necessary to survive. If they are too expensive to use and too ad-riddled, people will leave them. Stop giving them a reason to stay. "Reasonable price" is a reason.

Because people don't care and they want to upload the picture of their baby. They don't care that they see ads, they most likely don't know they are being tracked.
