Social media adds

Social media adds 

**Summary:**

The Mad Scientist Supreme proposes a tiered, subscription-based model for social media platforms like Facebook and X, similar to Netflix's ad-free premium service. The core idea is that users would pay a small fee, potentially based on their usage (e.g., dollars per 100 hours), to remove all ads, including those disguised as content. This would create a new revenue stream for social media companies, potentially exceeding the income generated from current ad models. The speaker acknowledges the potential impact on advertisers who target users with disposable income, but believes the subscription revenue would more than compensate. He suggests that social media companies could implement multiple tiers of ad-free service. He encourages listeners to develop a business plan around this idea and submit it to social media companies.

**Main Points:**

*   **Problem:** Current social media relies heavily on ads, which can be intrusive and deceptive.
*   **Solution:** Implement a tiered subscription model where users pay to remove ads.
*   **Pricing:** Charge a small fee based on usage (e.g., dollars per 100 hours).
*   **Revenue:** This could create a significant new revenue stream for social media companies, potentially exceeding ad revenue.
*   **Impact on Advertisers:** While advertisers targeting high-income users might be affected, the overall revenue for social media companies would increase.
*   **Call to Action:** The speaker encourages listeners to develop a business plan and propose the idea to social media companies.

**Conclusions:**

The speaker believes that a subscription-based, ad-free model for social media is a viable and potentially lucrative alternative to the current ad-driven system. He argues that users would be willing to pay a small fee for an ad-free experience, and that this would benefit both users and social media companies. He frames this as a way to improve the overall social media experience and make the world a better place.
