A very good read, Greg. In case you haven’t already, I’d suggest reading Anna Kornbluh’s ‘Immediacy’ which develops the main theme you’re wrestling with here.

Yes! This game completely drives me up the wall.

Thanks, I genuinely can’t remember! I’m pretty sure whatever advertising there was was low key. If this platform has to go down the ad route, I hope it’s similarly unobtrusive.

I’m trying to remember when Twitter started running ads? If they did, they can’t have been too intrusive, as I don’t really remember them. It was only with the arrival of that ‘new guy’ I started getting aggressively spammed every few posts with garbage adverts and fake celeb endorsements!
