Don't forget that he added ads into the app for a platform that doesn't have ads and then is selling the option to remove them.

It's blowing my mind that people on here are happy to throw $100+ at a mobile app to access a free website that has multiple free and very good apps, especially when the app they're paying for is inserting ads into the experience to make people pay to remove the ads.
