When they changed ads to those bullshit 'promoted posts' I switched apps to a third party one that doesn't show ads. I also use adblocler on pc so they haven't received a dime of ad revenue from me since.
I'm sure there are many people pettier than me who would do the same thing because of this announcement.

We’re not their customers, we’re their product. Until they make enough of us angry or bored enough to move on. You’re not petty at all, you’re clever. You’re using their platform without being part of their inventory, smart. The whole business model is kinda sketchy, most of the actual work of enforcing their t.o.s. seems to be done by a bunch of unpaid moderators. The whole super mods issue, it just seems a little unstable. Not too mention how many subs are not what anyone would call advertiser friendly. We’ll see how it all unfolds.
