Don't install ad-block unless you hate free apps and/or just like to stick it to the indie developers out there.
Not that the standard ad-block techniques will work with my next app anyway, but if everyone blocked ads, there would be no more free apps. [1]

- emu 15y agoI'll make a deal with you. If you don't put flash or animations in your ads then I won't try to block them. For Verizon and Google: let me remove bloatware from your phones, or I won't buy them. Pity; I was actually going to look into the Galaxy Nexus whenever it comes out. Seems fair all round to me.
- jerrya 15y agoMe too. I had done my research and found the T-Mobile plan, and a Galaxy Nexus seller, but now, jeez louise. The number one best feature of my Nexus One is that it is pure Google Experience. I can justify the outrageous amount of money I spent on that based on the ease and frequency of OS updates. Just when I thought I was back in, they push me back out. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPw-3e_pzqU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPw-3e_pzqU)

More than a third of my current income is derived from "interstitials": After you play the game for a while, you have to watch something to continue. You don't like that, you buy the game (for a dollar!) and you get no ads. THAT's the deal. You don't like it, you don't play the game.
