I no longer trust The Great Suspender

If you can make thousands a month on tens of thousands of users, that’s (very much ballpark) $0.10 per user per month.

Paying $0.20 per user to buy that seems extremely low.

Also, on the sandboxing/app review of extensions, does anybody know how well Apple vets Safari extensions? (I guess that could be hard if the evil parts are time-triggered, certainly if the code also is obfuscated (possibly in the name of minification)

Who said they were earning thousands a month for their extension?

If the malware seller can make $0.10 / user / month, then paying the extension developer a one-time fee of $0.20 * users is only three months to pay back. Thus considered a low price for the extension developer but still attractive to the extension developer who likely earns $0 / user from their extension.

He didn't ask about the math, he wanted to know where it was said that they could earn "tens of thousands" (and I believe that is stated in the middle of the root post of this thread)
