    weird. who could have predicted a rug pull from an analytics and spyware company… lol.

    if you get in bed with adtech vipers and don’t anticipate problems, you’re gullible as hell. if you don’t stop them (or worse, if you let them) ad people will sell you, your soul, and your passion to the devil for a single penny.

      It could be worse, like zipoapps that immediately ruined the simple mobile tools with ads and scammy weekly subscriptions

      At least, for now, it looks like they acquired it for philanthropic reasons
