I’m annoyed about 1Blocker coming out with 1Blocker X a couple weeks after I bought the app. And now, even though 1Blocker works fine, they updated it to spam me anytime I open it with adverts about their new program. I understand it costs money to develop but I literally just paid them.

And I mean the name, 1Blocker - I think it was marketed at some point in time as the only blocker you'll ever need, just for them to release a new version with a new name.
It cost them money to code in the annoy-o-tron ads :)
Hah yeah of course it did! It's weird, the worst that would happen back in the day was a program on your PC would get abandoned. On iOS, you're liable to download an "update" to something (like Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, which WAS a great space game for iOS) and suddenly it's been acquired by a new company, and the $9 you spent has been turned into a F2P garbage, ad-ridden experience.
