    Asking for $20-100 for an ad free experience and then couching it in terms of “devs gotta eat” is the cash grab. That’s why there are ads in the first place. The point I’m making is that trying to make it into a guilt trip is sleazy. There are all kinds of free, ad free alternatives. I’d personally recommend liftoff. They don’t have ads and they’re not out here trying to imply I’m taking food out of their mouth for using the app without “donating”.

        $100 for an app is a cash grab no matter how you slice it. Period. End of discussion. $20 for ad free is arguable, but it’s way more donation than actual financial support of the devs. That’s what the ads are for. So yeah, imo asking for donations on top of ad revenue is grabbing for cash. The $100 version isn’t even debatable
