RIP Facebook Instant Articles

[littlerubby]

I've been using Instant Articles as my sole incoming source for the last two years. And now Facebook is shutting down its service on mid-April next year. I guess they're telling us in advance to switch to another source. There are other monetization tools on Facebook like In-Stream ads, Reels and so on. But my country is not eligible for those programs. Is there a way to use In-Stream ads or Facebook Reels from ineligible country? Thank you.

They place ad placement in news articles.

ads in the articles bro

why are they shutting it down

Because FB is paying more attention to videos (reels) and news articles are only read by 3% of total FB users. And it's not profitable for them I guess. As you know FB's revenue has dropped and they're rebranding

Facebook is coming up with a new article monetization program that is far better than instant articles. Some creators already got the article option on their pages and remained need to wait until the facebook announce it officially
