Facebook Users Won't Pay

My friend Dan Peguine sent me a screenshot of an interesting sponsored poll he saw last night. The question posed to the survey recipients was “Would you pay $3.99 a month to not ever see ads on Facebook?” A whopping 95% said no and 4% responded yes. This compares to statistics that Marshall Kirkpatrick published last night suggesting that 11% of YouTube users would be willing to pay for an adless version of YouTube.

You could argue that this survey was flawed given that the question didn’t simply ask if users would pay, it asked a specific amount.
