Facebook is reportedly charging a subscription of at least $50 per month for page owners who want to post more than two links a month to their own Facebook page. The restriction also covers comments, according to the source.
The subscription is not yet available in the United Kingdom, the author notes. The author, game developer Ashley Gullen, criticized the platform's direction in a post on Gamedev Mastodon, using the term "enshittification" to describe the pattern of degrading a service to extract more revenue from users.
The author linked to Facebook's own help documentation on the new policy, though the page is not quoted in the source. The post frames the change as a sign of how far the platform has moved from its earlier model, and expresses frustration that developers and businesses still rely on the service.
The post was first shared on Gamedev Mastodon and picked up by Hacker News, where it drew attention from the technology community. No further details on rollout timing or pricing tiers were included in the original post.
