Meta introduces paid tiers for posting additional hyperlinks on Facebook pages
Meta now limits free hyperlinks on Facebook pages to two per month and offers paid plans that allow up to eight or unlimited links.
Meta has altered its Facebook page policies, restricting free hyperlink posts to two per month. To post more, users must subscribe to a Meta One Advanced plan at $49.99 per month for eight links, or a Max plan at $499 per month for unlimited links. The shift sparked backlash on Mastodon, where a game-design company owner labeled the policy as extreme.
Commentators note that limiting outbound links is a tactic to retain user attention and protect advertising revenue. The change aligns with broader industry trends of monetizing platform features. Meta’s pricing structure may affect how businesses and creators share external content on the network.
Why it matters
The new fees could change how businesses and creators distribute external content on Facebook, impacting audience reach and marketing costs.
