Free service providers are concerned about how to monetize their services. Facebook, or now Meta, is also looking for ways to earn money with its own offers (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Co.). For the basically free Instagram, paid subscriptions will be introduced shortly. This supports creative people on the portal, and at the same time there is also a fee for the operator.
Paid subscriptions for Instagram are announced
Incidentally, Facebook or Meta is not all with “paid” offers. There are now Super Followers on Twitter, and YouTube relies on channel memberships, super chats and super stickers, among other things. But other platforms such as TikTok, SnapChat and Co. also rely on subscriptions or similar monetization options.
The analysts at Sensor Tower (via TechCrunch) Not only did Instagram receive an update, but also that there are now various subscriptions between $ 0.99 and $ 4.99 in the “In-App Purchases” section. In this country, four subscriptions for 0.99 euros each are displayed. This is apparently (still) a display error.
While Instagram has not yet revealed what the real purpose of these in-app purchases is, these are likely to be part of a strategy to further monetize the platform. At the same time, users should be given an opportunity to send money to the creatives they follow. Since the in-app purchases have already appeared in the App Store, the official announcement should not be long in coming.
