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.

So someone told you to hate something and you just went for it full send without understanding it, eh?

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

No he isn't, just go use a different app ffs.
