I did for Insta to share/catalogue climbing stuff, but it wasn't very good. I have been on there kind of recently, but the ads make it unusable and no one seems to use it anymore, so I'm just fed "climbing content".
I would need some sort of psychological addiction to use it. Temu is a more pleasurable experience and that app makes me depressed.
Short form content annoys the shit out of me, and Facebook was turned to shit long before instagram was a thing. But I'll gladly say "Yeah, Im addicted please pay me to quit" if the money is right.
-edit- On second glance, the article is actually talking about us paying to avoid those services ... like... a fee to NOT have them. That's pretty fucked up, and whomever thought of the idea of paying for non-service needs to be slapped upside the head with their grandma's sandal.

No. I wouldn't. I never signed up for either.

It's just for the experimental setup to figure out just how much people hate these services despite using them 🤷♂️

so you pay the drug dealer to not supply you with drugs? Sounds like extortion.

It isn’t just paying to not use them. It’s about paying for nobody else to use them. The issue people interviewed point out is FOMO.

Missing out on what?? Have you been to TikTok? It's the land of single-digit IQ. And Instagram is not much better.
