I’m more surprised to discover now that it launched without ads

More short sighted corporate greed. It’s a great period to try and pull in Twitter users but instead let’s add ads for a short term bump in profits.

They’d have to implement ads eventually anyway. Companies do have budgets, and the money to run Threads has to come from somewhere.

Companies can and do make a loss to gain market share, they ae currently doing it with the metaverse and AI.

As twitter struggles under the spastic, they should be incentivising the move for users.

I wish more federated services had built in (optional) support for enabling ads so I didn’t have to constantly worry about them shutting down. Especially peer tube.

I kinda wish more federated services also had built in, optional support for directly paying the people hosting the service and infrastructure.
