mastodon doesn't stop advertisers and analytics.
but it has advantages. it's smaller and less convenient to deal with.
It absolutely doesn't, if I own an instance I can easily add ad features and analytics and allow advertisers to make accounts. However, culturally, there is generally a resistance to those things. It's real and it's meaningful. Sure, someone can scrape instances for some stats because they're public websites but it's not the same as tracking cookies and other technical invasive techniques that are commonplace.
