Facebook Premium

This is a common error in human misjudgement that just because you had one relevant idea in the past it automatically follows future ideas should be so relevant. But, they're not, and 10% of the people are not going to pay for no ads.

Wouldn't the same analysis apply to Twitter? Why don't they have a premium service.

It sounds like he thinks Twitter's ads cause engagement, and therefor you don't need to hide them.

Someone willing to pay $10 a month to hide ads probably uses AdBlock.

I don't think you'd get 10% uptake on paying for an ad-free experience on a site like Facebook which is mostly teenagers with no money of their own.

Facebook is used by about one sixth of the world's population. I don't think the site is mostly teenagers any more.
