If mastodon was used by teens, it would have all the same problems.

Advertisment is not the problem here.

Mastodon doesn't have the incentive to try to spy on everybody and try to get everybody hooked by any means necessary.

is that why they're trying to implement better suggestions and discovery algorithms (https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/mastodon-4.3/) just to get people to stick on their website even a little bit cause otherwise it's just kinda dead

Masto has no social graph. Its just like IRC and PHP forums that many of us here used as teens.

Right now this is perhaps true, because mastodon has to compete with commercial social media.
