Ultimately I'd prefer he didn't, as it's reinforcing the race to the bottom you refer to above. Yes google caused it, yes we choose to participate. I am also a developer and pushed out apps without ad support in business contexts, admittedly niche, but basically a single person should not be able to monetize at this level and for just their own gain. We lose a lot compared to any short term benefit. Yes I'm talking ideals, I want people to focus more on ideals generally and less on growth and monetization.

I completely understand, respect, and share your ideals however our current global circumstances are not favorable at all for those ideals. We can and will slowly change that, I'm sure of it, but at the same time people deserve to get paid for their work.
