I just got an invite for one of those damn Facebook “Causes”. First off, I’ve never accepted one of those…ever…and I probably never will, either. Secondly, this cause was to join the petition against Facebook becoming a paysite.

I’ve seen the hubbub before concerning paying for Facebook, and I’m tired of seeing everyone flip the fuck out about it.

Guess what. I think Facebook should cost money. GASP! Do I think it should cost a lot of money? No. I think about 5 bucks a year would make Facebook incredibly better for us on the whole. Have you ever joined a site that needs to be payed for before? If you’re bitching about Facebook becoming a paysite, then you probably haven’t. Here’s what happens when you pay for shit – ADVERTISEMENTS GO AWAY, among other things.

The Facebook team would be able to do more for us if we paid them a measly couple bucks a year, and there would be a shit ton more options for us as users. Hell, I don’t really give a fuck if they make it a paysite…what they should do is make it possible to donate, and if you donate, then you’re a member who gets better privileges (better stalking???) or something like that.

Dear people who are bitching,

Stop bitching. Do you realize how much Facebook has actually done for you without costing a cent? Your 1000 pictures would be gone without Facebook (at least the ones you’re in but didn’t take) and your long lost besties would still be long lost. So shut up and toss Facebook a couple dollars if it comes to it. The world won’t end. I promise.

Love, Nate

“they wouldn’t make more money they’d make a lot less. advertising dollars are worth more than subscription rates. like magazines. that’s why they won’t ever make it a paysite.” -Michael Puckett, our lovely editor and friend…

Michael’s point pretty much makes my blog moot, but I’m still leaving it up. Its a prime example of how even I…yes, I know, its crazy…can be wrong, or talk about shit that I have no clue about.
