    I hate ads and will never download an app that has ads for a platform that doesn’t have ads, just so I have to pay to get rid of ads (which of course includes tracking you for the best ads).

    “No added ads” is a non-feature.

    I understand people wanting to support the dev, but is their code so bad that they really have to add ads to make money? Apollo never had ads.

        You can either charge for good code or for no-ads.

        Charging for no-ads on an opensource platform is just sad. Why not enrich instead?

        Edit: Apollo was made for Reddit, some smug corp. and even they didn’t have ads. Ads on opensource is misusing opensource.

      iOS users are more likely to pay for apps. ad-supported is common. Of course you could so both.

        I’m a dev myself. I’d never disrespect my userbase by adding ads and tracking to my products. Instead, they can choose to pay for real features.

        Edit: But Sync are free to do as they wish. Just weird that they add ads to an ad-free platform. You’re paying for the problem they created, not for innovation.
