I think people know, but there’s this weird disconnect where it applies to bugs but not animals. Most kids know female mantis and spiders generally eat the males of their species, but far fewer know the realities of chickens or pigs. Always pretty easy to pick out the farm kids in biology class.
Farmers specifically have to be careful when sows give birth because they will sometimes just eat the piglets. But yeah, let’s make this about people forcing pigs to eat other pigs lmao
So everyone ITT just wants to ignore the fact that pigs are naturally cannibalistic? K cool beans guys
Too late! Farmers very often have to stop sows from eating their own piglets, and they don’t always get there in time. Pigs are naturally cannibalistic in the wild, which is part of what makes them such a nasty invasive species. They’re their own food source, at least in part.
The ads are what supports the developer. $20 to remove them is just a better bulk upfront deal than waiting for fractions of pennies to come together over time. The $100 version is a straight up grift though. I cannot overstate this, the ads are what supports the dev. There is nobody here not getting paid for their work.
$100 for an app is a cash grab no matter how you slice it. Period. End of discussion. $20 for ad free is arguable, but it’s way more donation than actual financial support of the devs. That’s what the ads are for. So yeah, imo asking for donations on top of ad revenue is grabbing for cash. The $100 version isn’t even debatable
Asking for $20-100 for an ad free experience and then couching it in terms of “devs gotta eat” is the cash grab. That’s why there are ads in the first place. The point I’m making is that trying to make it into a guilt trip is sleazy. There are all kinds of free, ad free alternatives. I’d personally recommend liftoff. They don’t have ads and they’re not out here trying to imply I’m taking food out of their mouth for using the app without “donating”.
Everybody in here is freaking out about devs having to eat are entirely missing the point that the devs are already eating thanks to ad revenue they introduced into their own app. Having to pay to remove ads isn’t supporting the dev because the dev is already supporting themselves with ads. Call the cash grab a cash grab if you want, but understand that this is what it is.
Definitely a rabbit. Dude with Let Me Take Your Luggage is doing some pretty cool stuff ngl
