And I'm not convinced by the claim that putting spyware into apps is the only way to make money.

Literally no one on the face of the earth has ever said that. We're actually talking about an app that has a paid option without ads.

It uses trackers even when paying, btw.

Source? The sync dev said that google's ad code isn't ever initialized if you pay. Don't see why it wouldn't be the same with boost.

A comment in a crosspost. It said that analytics (which is not ads but just as tracking) is enabled in the pay version.

Oof that's a bummer.
