    The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

    Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.

      Sync launched with a subscription, and only after the kickback from that did it add a one time charge option. An option priced much higher than Boost, by the way.

      People were right to push back on that.

      Also, the public transit example doesn’t fit here. If I paid for the bus with my bus fare, or through my taxes, yes, being upset about the ads would be ok, because I already paid for the service. Same way I wouldn’t appreciate ads in the backseat of an Uber.

      I don’t really complain about seeing ads in apps i didn’t pay for, but I do complain about seeing ads on public transit and in the world in general. I don’t want the world plastered with ads.

      Hell they’re on the motorways here which seems ludicrous.
