I didn't realise there was a competitor.

I wasn't promoting one over the other - just unaware alternatives existed.

Also didn't know it had ads, because all ads are blocked in my browser.

Last time I checked ThreadReader is an indie app developed by one or two developers. I've had no issues with them in the past.

The truth is, this service was acquired last year by a US company. They didn't mention it or share the news with their users and they keep marketing themselves as "indie developers", including on their patreon https://www.patreon.com/ThreadReaderApp. In addition to that the original creator left, he is not working on the product anymore.
