If you try to send Facebook a message to Mark Zuckerberg, then a social network can offer you his delivery to the main inbox of the founder of Facebook for $ 100. This fact was
discovered yesterday by Mashable, although not all users play it.
In order to combat spam, Facebook started experimenting with paid messages last month, offering to pay one dollar for delivering a message to the user's main inbox, if it is not among your friends. You can send a message for free, but then the addressee will be able to find it in the “Other” folder, which is often overlooked.
The Other folder contains all the messages that Facebook considered unimportant to you. The message selection algorithm used to cause a lot of criticism, since the majority of users were completely unaware of the existence of the second inbox and subsequently found important messages in it.

So far, the social network is only testing the system of paid messages and it is available for a limited number of users. As Mashable's Facebook commentary says: “We test some of the extreme prices to see what works for spam filtering.”
