The likely scenario is Facebook will figure out some way of displaying ads to Mastodon users and impose that as an interoperability requirement.

- ahahahahah 3y agoI doubt facebook will want to show ads where they don't have any control over the context that they are shown in due to the insane difficulty of dealing with brand safety once you do that. This is almost certainly a big reason reddit never tried to support advertising in 3rd party clients.
- paxys 3y agoNope, they want the opposite – for you to stay in the Threads app and get tracked/watch ads. The fact that you can pull content from all over the Fediverse in the app to stay busy is just a bonus. They are now able to monetize all that content for free.
