This dude thinks he’s a Vulcan lol

If you wanna irrationally doom a burgeoning social media network with misguided ideals, that’s on you. Lemmy will never reach critical mass on part time unpaid devs. If you were really against your usage data being monetized you wouldn’t be using any social media as that’s a core part of how any major social network grows and thrives.

The devs are literally in this thread explaining why this contractually required language is in the app. There’s nothing “sneaky” going on, especially since the notification in OP’s post is so explicit. If you wanna share how you monetize an ad based experience without google or similar required language go right ahead.

Knee jerk responses like this are why Lemmy seems doomed to stagnate and die. And this is coming from someone who used to be all in. Utterly tired of the mob of goofs that think everything should be developed for free and anyone that tries to make a legitimate living in this space is an evil bastard.

He’s garbage. Human garbage.

I think I’d rather pay $20 a month for unlimited movies instead of like $10 every time. Heck, even at $5 a pop it would still save me money compared to the sub. If we’re talking about a product we don’t need or use on a recurring basis I totally agree subscriptions are not optimal but in this instance i think consumers are getting a fantastic value.
