None of the apps I have on my phone have ads in them. And before you ask, no I don't have FB or any of the other "social" apps. I prefer to spend a buck or two

- newman314 11y agoI prefer not to have to spend money to be blasted with crap.
- melted 11y agoWell, people skilled in their art prefer to not work for free.
- newman314 11y agoAre you implying that advertising is a skilled art that we should pay for?
- melted 11y agoNo, I'm implying that one way or another developers need to be paid for what they do if you want them to continue to write apps. I pay them directly because I don't like ads. Others choose free versions of apps to pay indirectly by subjecting themselves to ads. If I had a mechanism to pay publishers directly with a reasonable flat fee, I'd do that as well.
- michaelbuckbee 11y agoI'm with you, but the general market for mobile apps has spoken and most consumers are much more willing to use a "free" app packed to the gills with interstitial advertising (aka an ad before every round) than to pay even $1.
