"no ads" - it is explicitly stated on the website and app store page

Just a thought: you could incorporate a non-profit to run the site, like Wikipedia or public radio/media, and be the president of that organization. For me, donating to a non-profit is much easier than a voluntary subscription to a for-profit corporation.

Love the app, I’ve already had some photos shared with me!

Facebook also didn't have ads when it started

  • Facebook ads began in 2004 with simple "Flyers" for small businesses, but the official, targeted Facebook Ads platform launched in November 2007. While rudimentary banner ads appeared in 2005-2006, the 2007 launch introduced brand pages, social ads, and user insights.

    Facebook launched in 2004. They always had ads.
