You also do not read magazines, newspapers or watch television?

You also do not use Google or Twitter (this isn't you? https://twitter.com/scott_to_s)?

Yes, that's me. And no, I don't watch terrestrial TV, or read magazines.

Yes, I use Twitter now, but I'd like to move away from it, especially if it continues to move in the direction that it's going... hence my subscription to App.net and my comment that you're responding to.

The fact that I have a Twitter account means that it is curretly useful for me, but it doesn't change my stance on advertising, which I do not tolerate. I also use Twitter via a client that does not pollute my stream with advertising, but this cannot last.

I'm quite happy to pay for a service that doesn't advertise or sell eyeballs.
