Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

    I’m pretty sure he already made millions from the app.

      So he should start working for free? Or just retire and not create an app that many people enjoy?

        Neither. I didn’t say anything. But since you challenge me to say something, I’d say since he’s very likely financially very secure, he could look for ways to monetize that do not mine user data.

          The data it collects is purely from Google’s ad services. Removing ads removed all data collection as well from what other users with duck duck go were measuring.
