- aembleton 8mo agoMost of them still source their ads from a known domain so you can easily block them using DNS.
- sevenzero 8mo agoThat might be easy but its stuff most people dont know how to do. Its mostly a war on ad blocks.
- vlod 8mo agoYep, it's the driving force why I rarely install apps. If the mobile site doesn't work well, it's a good filter that I shouldn't use it. (Doom scrolling trap). For those that are not aware, on Android you can install Firefox and Ublock-Origin. Life saver!

- kllrnohj 8mo agoI don't think that applies to Patreon which, as far as I know, doesn't have any ads in the first place? The app might make it easier for them to enforce DRM-like behaviors to prevent people from pirating creators content, but I strongly suspect people aren't doing that on iOS regardless.
