Profiting from convincing (or, perhaps more accurately, "manipulating") people to pay attention. Big Social Media[8] sites like Facebook are part of the attention economy: you pay nothing to use the site. In fact, you are the product; they sell your attention to advertisers, and therefore design their product to maximize their profits by manipulating you to spend more time on the site[9].

Mastodon is a Free Software[11], decentralized, global Social Media[12] network. Unlike the other major ones, it is not a part of the Attention Economy[13], and generally has no ads.
