The "hard-work" that it took to create the fart app? Or the one that just provides you with a button to turn on your phone's flash LED? Adding advertisements to these things is just a money-grab (especially putting ads in apps targeted at children).

If I personally created such an app, I would have issues trying to morally justify putting ads in it.

Then personally create those apps. Problem solved, no? If, however, you are installing advertiser supported apps and then trying to justify it by declaring its simplicity, you have absolutely no moral ground to stand on. You are just another thief making justifications.

You're making general assumptions about me not supported by the post that I made:

> You are just another thief making justifications.

I posted an objection to the "hard work / starving developer" statement, and now I'm apparently a thief for even suggesting that I find advertisements in those apps to be morally objectionable.

I personally do not own an Android phone. Am I a thief for suggesting that I dislike people creating these 'simple' apps and slapping them full of ads?

You also seem to think that people are not allow to speak their mind, which is an attitude that I do have moral objections to:

> Then personally create those apps. Problem solved, no?

What about when the App is full of ads (e.g. "Your phone is full of virus! Download App to clean it here!") that are meant to trick the user into clicking them? Is that also morally defensible because someone "worked hard" on it?
