So I read the Ello manifesto - I like it. So I clicked the button that says "I Agree" [I am not the product]. And what happens? I get a bevy of links to share my sentiment on every major social network - the same ones they just pointed out are all about selling my usage and posting habits.

I don't know if this is deliberate irony or just something that wasn't thought through very well...

I think the point is that users can choose to share on ad networks if the desire or not. I often share stuff to Twitter. However, at its core, Ello itself is ad-tech-free. It's an oasis where I can relax and never worry about targeted ads, tracking or deteriorating UX because of ad tech. The team seams to really care about this and has been transparent and responsive in my experience.
