OK, but do I get a blue tick?

You can wear a dunce cap for free.

I'm thinking $4.99 for the DunceCap* premium filter

one-time use only, usage of filter gives consent in perpetuity, with no restrictions, for Meta to scan your entire disgusting naked body for usage in Meta's upcoming "MoleCheck" biometric security login feature*

**Usage of MoleCheck grants Meta perpetual license with no restrictions to train its "Dr. ZuckCancer" AI (not a real doctor) on your disgusting naked body and to withhold any cancer diagnosis Dr. ZuckCancer (not a real doctor) might find if you have not paid your monthly subscription to "MetaMedical", a real bargain at only $350/week! Remember, choose MetaMedical, because "You Might as Well, We Already Have Your Medical Records Anyway!"

Except they are not forcing you to pay. You can still use it as it is right now.

Why would paid users need to compensate for free users? This is a per user choice between ad personalization or a monthly fee. The “free” users will still be generating revenue the existing way.
