Why do I get the feeling that these kinds of deployments (like Ello) are all 
about 'branding', marketing, and social-coolness-hipster-ladder-climbing? I get 
tired of the Red-Herring-on-steroids interfaces, the distinctly hollow-sounding 
ethical tweaks, and 'forward-looking' Darwinian spins.


Authentic? Uranus!

Looks like a very interesting idea, profit-sharing social networks. The
documentation suggest that it may be structured like a ponzi scheme, which
is not entirely bad.

Compensation structures like that heavily favor early adopters and people
that significantly grow the network. Most business in technology favors
early adopters of anything successful. The problem for a social network is
the social cost of creating a community that heavily favors growth. From a
Media Ecology standpoint, the social network's content inevitably becomes
about growth, diluting other ways people might use the platform.
