Selling out our privacy reminds me of the debate in the PTA Disbands episode of The Simpsons. LINK Most people are going to be all for privacy, until you ask them to pay money to keep it.
Regarding ello specifically, the primary "product" of a Social Network isn't the software, it's the audience that software lets you communicate with. Any social network that isn't free is doomed to failure, or at least will never become dominant. There are just too many people unwilling to pay for privacy.
