Facebook Tests £9.99 Monthly Subscription for Sharing More than Two Links
Meta limits non-verified Facebook Pages and professional profiles to two link posts monthly to encourage subscriptions, excluding publishers and allowing links in comments, Meta said.
- Meta is running a limited test that certain Facebook Pages and professional mode profiles without Meta Verified will be limited to 2 organic link posts per month starting December 16.
- Meta says the test aims to see if more link posts add value for Meta Verified subscribers as part of efforts to boost the paid subscription, with related revenue now at $690 million.
- Publishers are currently excluded and users in the test can still post links in comments, affiliate links, or links to Meta platform posts, while Meta reports over 98% of U.S. feed views lack links.
- Creators and brands face limits on link posts, needing to choose two links per month, use the first comment workaround, or pay for Meta Verified; Meta says few Facebook Pages are impacted so far.
- This test could put link-sharing behind a paywall for creators, as Meta Verified subscription at $14.99 offers a verified badge and fits the native-content trend on social platforms.
