Facebook is paying people to shut down their accounts ahead of the election

The screenshots posted by The Washington Post Thursday show an Instagram pop-up asking users to select how much money they’d be willing to receive in order to deactivate their Instagram and Facebook accounts ahead of the election. Facebook gives the options of $10, $15, and $20 per week as some users would be asked to deactivate for one week while others could be asked to leave the platform up to six weeks total.

This is odd.  I don't spend much time on Facebook.  I took it off my phone.  Any thoughts?
