    If it’s open source, the developer can’t monetize it. Everyone will just be able to remove ads and compile it from scratch.

    FOSS is all fine and dandy, unless being a developer for a popular service (or app) is your sole source of income.

      That’s just not what really happens though. Look at Robert Broglia’s emulators. They are open source and paid, and are some of the most popular paid emulators on the play store despite the fact that people could just download the source from his site and compile them.
