Cool technology, but I don't understand why every tiny little feature or program costs money on mobile. The price of convenience?

Because software developers are people who like to eat too?

[wilfsford]

Like all the small publishers that get ruined by adblocking?

[stephenr]

You're comparing privacy invading, intrusive, battery draining, data chewing ad-networks, with a developer who asks you to pay a couple of bucks for something he's probably spent a month minimum developing.

Sorry, but no.

Those publishers have the option of asking their readers to pay for the content directly, which is exactly what the developer does.

They also have the option to use ad networks that aren't completely user-hostile.

I don't understand when I hire a painter that they ask for money either :/

The prices are usually tiny as well. Peace is $2.99.
