    You can maneuver all you want, it is spyware. My hobby work is free. I don’t track my users nor do I inundate them with ads. I believe that’s unethical.

    My work work is not available for free in any capacity whatsoever.

      Good job you’re not using an android phone so it doesn’t matter!

      It’s his full time job, so his "work work " isn’t free in any capacity either, you either pay with ad revenue or you pay with $20

        He chose to go down that path. No one forced him. It’s a brain dead argument mate.

        Oh and btw, it is free in some capacity. You do not have to pay to use the free version. It’s literally called the fucking free version.

          The free version with ads that pay the developer that everyone’s losing their minds over like they’ve never seen an advert before.

            Rightfully so, because it tracks you, collects and sells your data and inundates you with ads, which is literally every single fucking thing lemmy was built to get around.

              Or is it just a continuation of the usual Google platform. Being used on a Google phone with a Google account.
