I see a bunch of comments on how useful this is, but I just uninstall applications that have ads that are intrusive. I'd love to get back to the point where I could buy software and pay the developers to make a living. Apparently everyone thinks they need to be Google now (ad supported).

  Perhaps ... or maybe most applications aren't worth real money to consumers? I'm not trolling and as a professional software (and hardware) developer, I'm concerned that the perception free applications give users is that they have no monetary value. This is dangerous. Yes ... I use and contribute to open-source projects, primarily libraries, frameworks and developer tools. Does this make me a hypocrite?
