Meta Wants You to Pay for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp Now - MacRumors
Consumer
Meta is launching paid subscription tiers ('Meta One') for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, with AI chatbot access starting at $7.99/month — a direct monetization pivot on top of its ad business. This opens a new recurring revenue stream that the market is pricing in today (+3.7%), but insider selling (37 sales, 0 buys in 30 days) and a consensus already sitting at 24 Strong Buy / 40 Buy suggests most of the easy upside is consensus-owned.
