It'll never work. The percentage of people willing to pay $50/year on a social network is so small that it will run into the same problems Google+ has, but much much worse [those problems being that, for a social network to be attractive, everyone has to be on it].

Also, for me atleast, it was never the ads that were why I hate Facebook, it was the privacy issue, and the fact that people use it to be attention whores and stalkers.
