The company first announced plans to develop a new revenue stream based on the subscription model when detailing its $15 million Series A back in October.

    The problem with ads is advertisers want to be able to target specific groups of people, which means the platform needs to violate your privacy to get that information.

      It’s not violating your privacy when you agree to let them access all your data in the EULA. That’s why they exist.

      Edit: I’m not saying it’s a good thing, that’s just how it works.
