Facebook will now let group administrators start charging $4.99 to $29.99 a month for exclusive membership in certain groups, the company announced today in a blog post.

Facebook says the new feature is so that group admins, who put a lot of time and dedication to growing their communities, can also earn money at the same time.

Many of those groups will see a significant drop of users. Sooner or later Facebook will of course demands its share too, then it will extend the fees and more users will flee than already do. Alltogether, a good development.
