    It also claims that it won't be trying to obtain any monetary income or sell user data, but it got seed funding from a Venture Capital investor. You don't claim the former and get the latter. Those investors are expecting a return, and ello will have to provide it somehow.

This is exactly the point I made in IRC, the entire thing is laughable at best.

Edit: one of these days I'll get quotes right.
