[–] cakeistheanswer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 years ago (3 children) I have to admit I'm totally soured. 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. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] slimarev92@lemmy.world 17 points 3 years ago (1 child) So you want them to make a professional grade app for free? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Izzy@lemmy.world -8 points 3 years ago (3 children) There are other methods of monetization besides ads.

Put your money where your mouth is in that case.

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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] cakeistheanswer@lemmy.dbzer0.com -17 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 years ago* The entire body of issues from the ad supported model are legion and documented by people better than I.

He shouldn't value his own time and effort? Damn you're entitled. He can work for what he wants, but he's shutting where I eat. No he isn't, just go use a different app ffs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Skates@feddit.nl 4 points 3 years ago Ads and data gathering are really damn annoying. I'd like to purchase this software, but instead it's just a monthly subscription.
