Developer satisfaction has been overwhelming? That's now what I'm hearing from them. And what about their users?
It's nice that you've taken the time to respond to people's concerns , but your business model is still flawed--Even with the lastest update.
For starters, you can no longer tell developers that your ads will reach 100% of their user base. With a one-ad limit per day regardless of how many apps they have, this becomes a terrible choice for developers to earn money.
Not that this was ever a good idea. Any kind of Ad that shows up in the background when a user is not interacting with the app is malware, no matter how you try to spin it.

I hope Google will act swiftly to end this.
