Hey Boost, could you maybe vet your ads a little better? (sh.itjust.works)

I don't hate on it and do not advocate for or against it. You do you. Boost is simply one of many options and other options may be free and ad-less.

Because of the nature of ad platforms and ad delivery, various metrics about your activity is also sent to third parties. It's something to be aware of, at least.

I am saying that if an app is good enough, I'll donate or buy it. For now, I am a top contributor to Connect. Yay? Personally, I think the ad route is trashy, but others don't seem to mind unless they get blasted in the face by Troof Social.
