Facebook will deliver a message to a stranger for $ 1

Do you want to post on Facebook a pretty girl who is not listed as your friend? This can be done, but the letter will most likely fall into the Other folder, which usually no one reads (although it can also get into the Inbox, according to unknown filtering rules). To solve this problem, Facebook has gone to meet the users - and now offers to deliver a guaranteed message to the Inbox for just $ 1. Meet the new Facebook service : sending paid messages to strangers.



The service of paid messages is presented as an experiment so far and is available only to users from the USA (both the sender and the recipient must be Americans). Facebook claims that in this way it checks how economic incentives allow us to separate useful information from spam. Indeed, for spam it is very expensive, so for $ 1 people will send each other really important information, but not spam.



Probably, ideally, Facebook wants to get paid for each message on the social network. Spam and advertising are cheaper, important private messages are more expensive.

At the same time, Facebook cancels the old “Who can send me messages” setting. Instead, two filtering methods are presented: basic (Basic) and strong (Strict). Paid messages will come to you, whichever of the two filtering methods you choose.







The new paid service logically complements a number of other ways to monetize Facebook's audience, which has exceeded one billion people. Previously, the company has already presented a gift delivery service (in the USA) and the opportunity to promote its message through the filtering system, so that all friends will see it guaranteed (the service costs $ 7).



What can I say, communication with friends is worth a lot.
