Imagine believing that Boost specifically developed their own ad network and dictate what is/isn't on it...
If you're not capable of dictating what appears in your own company's product, maybe that's something to rethink?
Should Ruben vet the entire Lemmyverse while he's at it so he can "dictate what appears in his product?"
As a solo developer with limited resources, one has four choices:
• Choose an existing ad network and do the best you can within its content preferences,
• Put a paywall on your app's features and hope enough people will actually buy it,
• Work for free, sacrificing your own livelihood, or
• Don't develop the app.
Clearly they all involve a compromise of one form or another, and I trust that Ruben put a lot of thought into the decision.
