Meta is quietly testing a paid option for link sharing on Facebook, aiming to charge users who want to share more than a couple of links at a time. In this limited experiment, basic posting actions could become gated behind a subscription, signaling a broader shift toward monetizing core platform features beyond ads. While the trial is not widely rolled out, observers say the move illustrates how social networks may tie everyday tools—like link sharing—to paid plans for power users and content creators. Under the test, free accounts would face a cap on the number of links they can share, with higher limits unlocked through a paid tier. Critics warn that such monetization could limit accessibility for casual users and widen disparities between frequent sharers and typical users. Meta has offered few details on pricing or rollout, and the scope of the experiment could change as it evolves. This report originated from Digital Trends and highlights ongoing experimentation in social platform monetization as firms explore subscription models for basic features.
