If you believe Facebook will stop abusing your privacy if you pay them, I have a bridge to sell you...

Privacy? What is this article talking about. Ads not displaying in no way implies privacy. They will harvest your data as much as it possibly can either way. All you are doing by paying to remove ads is directly funding the ad business model.
Exactly this!
The article confuses privacy and ads-free. As in, you pay $10 a month not to see what the data they collect on you would be used for if you didn't pay. But they still collect data on you and monetize it in many other ways.
And if you think this is the final price, I’d like to buy a bridge from you…
There's no fucking way. They'll take your $10 and still sell all your shit.
