"today we are announcing that anyone who would like to continue end to end encryption will need to pay an extra 30$ per month" Also im not sure how much I would trust e2e on any meta software there may very well be backdoors that let them get the clear text from either end.

Definitely agree that people are hard to change, especially once they get used to a service they like that is extremely popular. Its a human nature problem, and those don't have easy solutions. Who knows maybe meta/facebook will screw up sooo badly one day that even the most diehard fan will jump ship but I don't see that happening. Corpos know just how to push things as far as they can without getting too burned.
