Meta expands beyond advertising revenue
The launch of the three subscription services signals Meta’s continued push toward diversifying revenue streams. Subscription products have become increasingly important for technology companies looking to reduce dependence on advertising income.
Meta has not only focused on AI and creator tools in recent months but has also expanded paid features across multiple products. With Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp now getting premium tiers, the company is broadening its efforts to monetise user engagement across its ecosystem.
