Even though social media is free to use, research found many US university students would pay to quit it – especially TikTok – if they could beat their fear of missing out.
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.

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