So open-standards don't matter? While they haven't given their source for their backend, they've been pretty open about how it's built, plus they've open sourced several pieces of their platform (Omega, Pourover, Oh

I would say no. Free accounts are limited to following 40 accounts but are unlimited in followers. Which means publishers don't have to pay anything to have a large following. But a subscriber may have to pay if they wish to consume a
