No. A paywall doesn't "fix" Facebook.
It would kill Facebook, or Facebook as it is currently construed.
What makes Facebook the great behemoth is its critical mass and how it maintains that status.
Imagine that we didn’t have to make that choice. That it didn’t have to be free to reach a critical mass. If you can’t imagine that, then you can’t understand my point. And that is the problem. It isn’t a problem with Facebook. It is a problem with us.
