"no ads" - it is explicitly stated on the website and app store page
replyJust a thought: you could incorporate a non-profit to run the site, like Wikipedia or public radio/media, and be the president of that organization. For me, donating to a non-profit is much easier than a voluntary subscription to a for-profit corporation.
replyLove the app, I’ve already had some photos shared with me!
Facebook also didn't have ads when it started
replyFacebook ads began in 2004 with simple "Flyers" for small businesses, but the official, targeted Facebook Ads platform launched in November 2007. While rudimentary banner ads appeared in 2005-2006, the 2007 launch introduced brand pages, social ads, and user insights.
replyFacebook launched in 2004. They always had ads.
