I wonder how much of the problem would be eliminated if Facebook accounts had a 1 time $5.00 set up fee?

I'd definitely be willing to pay a 1 time fee for a 90%+ reduction in fake accounts.



But the vast majority of people wouldn't be happy about that at all. Even if most people ended up paying, the loss FB would take in trust and reputation from users would be catastrophic.

Even Whatsapp usually seen as a great startup in their growth and sustainability never charged more than a fraction of their user base the $1 fee.
