- shermantanktop 2y agoHave you tried watching a cricket match in India? The ad frequency is incredible. It’s usually essentially a long series of ads with a bit of cricket mixed in. If advertising were lucrative, it probably wouldn’t be that way.
- josephg 2y agoSorry, I didn't make my point clearly. My point is that "free software supported by data harvesting and advertising" isn't more profitable in poor countries than software you buy off the shelf. Advertising revenue scales down just as much as disposable income for apps.
