We were using free public transportation than. I didn't count how many times I saw this promotional question. "How much did you earn from facebook so far?" That's not the case anymore, because I didn't pay to post a stupid photo on fb as well, so it was a fair deal. Plus if you invest $1k in instagram right now you may have a more profitable business by selling cups or t-shirts or w/e.

I get it it was kinda necessary step but it doesn't have to be this expensive. People trying to smooth it and call as a "freemium" service, I never used a freemium service that I need to invest at least $100, my account holding ~$1k and able to comment ~34 without any vote or transaction. I never used or saw a high-end premium service. Except these https://richkids.life/ or https://www.wired.com/2008/08/eight-people-bo/

It's a social network, it's called, promoted and waiting for investments upon being social network. Now it's a social network with a bodyguard at the door asking for $100 for entry oh before I forget. steemd already removed the estimated cost which were 14.- for comments now beem says 15.1- https://beempy.com/power/oups
