I like a good UX
(lemmy.world)
Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P
UX = user experience
The ads finance the app, I think that's perfectly fine (in principle).
I asked the dev a few weeks ago, this app is literally his livelihood. And he has a pretty good track record of delivering good software. Why not support him?
If you think more ads is the solution that's good for you. Ads are society's cancer, so I have little choice other than to block it. (Paying to get rid of ads perpetuates the idea that ads are profitable. That's up to you.)
So the three options for him to keep developing that we know of are 1) Ads 2) Pay for a license or 3) Fundraising. He offers 1 and 2, and 3 is well known to not work, seriously nobody donates. Check out
npm fundand how so little people used it that they just removed it.If your only argument is "I deserve things that took a lot of time and effort for free" then you aren't getting much sympathy from me.
