Except when they put them right in the newsfeed.

Well, not quite. Enough to make people who are inactive on Facebook close their accounts. But the rest? They'll just keep using it, in case that's the price.

Maybe, but they would increase their profits a lot. And we know that's what Facebook is all about. Earning money off of the users as much as they can. If that means make us pay, then that's what they'll do.

Except, that won't be good for them in the long term, and I don't think they'll go with it anyway.

But it's food for thought.

Exactly my thoughts. Except I think they'll lose more than just 20% of the userbase.
