I highly doubt this is unintentional like they claim. They were testing the waters for backlash. I can count all the times I accidentally put ads in my software on one hand, using zero fingers.
- yladiz 9y agoHighly doubt should be changed to don't believe. There's no way you add an advertisement "unintentionally" into something as integral to a phone as the keyboard and not realize it when doing basic sanity testing. I can believe that it was unintentional that the ad was shown by default (it may have been an option to display ads which was enabled by default) but the fact it is present is absolutely intentional.
- erk__ 9y agoI have the same keyboard (Installed as part of their own android FlyMe) on another phone (Meizu pro 5) and I have never had ads on mine.
- frou_dh 9y ago> I can count all the times I accidentally put ads in my software on one hand, using zero fingers. It's kind of interesting that below binary numbers, there are unary numbers, where there is no way to represent zero apart from complete lack of any symbols. You could almost say that unary is the native number system of the eyeball.
