minus-squareZangoose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·10 hours agoStep 1: Add ads into [insert app of choice here] that are really annoying Step 2: Make people pay to get rid of them. Bonus points if it’s a subscription Step 3: People hate your app but it’s the one that’s installed by default so they use it anyway Step 4: Profit
