I hate ads and will never download an app that has ads for a platform that doesn't have ads, just so I have to pay to get rid of ads (which of course includes tracking you for the best ads).
"No added ads" is a non-feature.
I understand people wanting to support the dev, but is their code so bad that they really have to add ads to make money? Apollo never had ads.
If you read my comment you know I never said I expect anyone to work for free. Don't put those words in my mouth, if it is what you are thinking yourself.
Yes I prefer up front payment over ads (in the EU you have a right to withdrawal your purchase if you regret).
I prefer not having tech at all over having Google's ads. Even 1 ad before being able to remove those ads, on an ad free platform. Any developer working with Google ads is not trustworthy.
Instead, support and donate to your instance. Those people work just as hard if not harder.
