I've been thinking about this recently, as like others in this thread I too have't used it in a while, but I think it's less indicative of the quality of the premise behind App.net (pay = no ads + privacy) than how little I notice Twitter ads and consequently how little they alienate me onto another platform.
I have not been back.
I always hear talk about "if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer". App.net was designed to solve that: you pay for it, so there's no ads, no privacy intrusions, and no worries about who is selling you to whom. I guess the experiment failed, and free-to-play wins out.
A lot of the SAAS offering usually say something like "for just the price of a coffee a day you can get our service" but If I was to pay for every services I use daily I would need a third job.
even going to their about page (https://app.net/about/) doesn't really explain anything. there are no screen shots, only common buzzy worded language, no depth of explanation on benefits of using the product.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

i never really understood what they were trying to do. even going to their about page ( https://app.net/about/ ) doesn't really explain anything. there are no screen shots, only common buzzy worded language, no depth of explanation on benefits of using the product.
