Serving ads is not cool, and specifically poisoning the Lemmy instance with all the problems of tying near permanent content to an ad ID is negligent.
No you won't convince me he had to to make a living, or do you not use wikipedia.
Are you really trying to compare an app that connects to a service with maybe 2M monthly users to fuckin Wikipedia, one of the best known sites on the internet that's used worldwide and still has to beg yearly for donations?
Ads get you free services, welcome to the internet since it's inception. If you don't want ads, pay to not have ads. The god damn entitlement here, telling a guy that he should be working for tips.
The entire body of issues from the ad supported model are legion and documented by people better than I.
My point to wikipedia is it's a charitable model with substantial overhead. The time of the dev is the product here, there is no overhead beyond the play store scrape.
He can work for what he wants, but he's shutting where I eat.

He shouldn't value his own time and effort? Damn you're entitled.

No he isn't, just go use a different app ffs.
Ads and data gathering are really damn annoying. I'd like to purchase this software, but instead it's just a monthly subscription. I'm posting this from sync, but I gotta say - if there's no update removing this stuff, I'm switching back to jerboa.
I have to admit I'm totally soured.
