anyone without adblock can tell me if there area ds here?

are ads*

they are fully ad free

they just got new investors

i remember reading about it

it's basicly like soundcloud it relies fully on investments

yep no ads

they're going to rely on paid features

icon packs, etc

idk why anyone would pay forthat tbh

but you can use custom icons

hmm.. ok

from jpgs

but they are banking hard

from investments

jesus

why though

im worried

"OUR INVESTORS

We've raised over $30,000,000 from top VCs in the valley like Greylock, Benchmark, and Tencent. In other words, we’ll be around for a while.
"

how do they make their money

why tho

i just said, they dont make any money

i don't trust them, sooner or later the tos probably change

+1

then how do they get investments

with no promise of return?

probably getting a market right now

probably datamining

then they'll start selling your conversations to amazon

step 1 get users, then roll out ads or w/e

they get big ass companies to invest > they own it > steal information

once they have got a good user base > change tos > do whatever the fuck they want

dont think they're making money atm

yeah, establish a userbase is priority 1

thats why im probably gonna stick with irc, low tech thats gets the job done

probably best call

for now its probably aight though

yeah, they would have to make a anouoncement b4 they go full nsa

they are going to be around for a long while

if they've got 30m in the bank

they myst have big plans
