Wow I do remember so much hype around Ello! The promise of a pure experience, being creator first, and basically counter-culture to Facebooks advertising model. I used it for a bit but it lacked a lot of depth, aesthetically it almost felt like I was in an art gallery, or some kind of stuffy/snobby social platform that took itself too seriously.
I was rooting for Ello, or at least the concept. It did seem like incentives were not aligned though, as the VCs wanted a return on their investment and the original concept made it so they promised their user base wouldn’t be the “product”. That left them with very few monetization options.
