Instagram now has 3 billion users.
Let that sink in.
That is over a third of the world's population & you can't access Meta in China (1.4 billion people). Facebook & WhatsApp already have 3 billion users. Mark Zuckerberg is the 3rd richest man in the world. I guess 3 really is a magic number for him

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.
