Many have said it already, and it's also true for me: Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard was my role model as a young teenager. The world is a little less bright without him.

Not sure what kind of reply you're expecting here. I'm defintely not cheering you on for abusing users to make you $200/month. Your business model is cancer and the reason why the Internet is the kind of shithole it is today.

Why did you think that using an ad network was ever a sensible option for revenue? Ads are cancer and a security risk, so blocking them is just common sense.

Unfortunately not. Adblocking is a security requirement and should be enforced by any enterprise.

All ad networks are cancer, in my humble opinion. Adblocking is a security requirement, so I have no compassion for anybody who bases their economic success on any ad network.

This still means that Google is effectively gatekeeping what can be installed on the hardware you own and what cannot.

Well, obviously changing "installing software" to "sideloading" worked somehow.

I agree with you, but can we stop calling installing software on the hardware you own "sideloading"?
