Is this REALLY a software developer making robocalling software complaining about intrusive ads?

REALLY?

Yes ... yes it is.

I mean is there any doubt at all what companies will use this software for? (and of course, zero attention given to the fact that robocalling is illegal in most places. For good reason. Using this software is a crime. Which means scummy salespeople and scammers are the only ones going to use it)

I don't know what you're referring to but I own a podcast app and have nothing to do with robocalling
This is the app you're defending: https://cal.com/ai

First: this is obviously a robocalling application. It's probably illegal in half the world. And being against ads, but helping companies with robocalling ... that's not a very consistent attitude.

No it isn't. I was talking about this app

But I don't work on it I was just giving examples. And I'm not against ads, I just don't think they should be the only way to make money on the internet.
