The lack of ads and algorithms

There are ads and algorithms though

I should have been more clear about the latter; while there's absolutely an algorithm, it's not one that explicitly prevents me from consuming content if I want to read the firehose in order. I can turn on wild west mode, or read a territory from newest to oldest, while FB and Twitter have evolved their algorithms to make this nearly impossible.

As far as ads go, other than the MSM sponsorship, I guess I'm not sure I've seen one here?

Appreciate the control I feel I have on how I move through the SN content.

We've run ads via @ad in the past. Last one was in November.

Ah, that explains it -- before my time!
