I subscribe to this - while I understand developers are looking for 
revenue streams I really like
how current native Sailfish OS apps are pretty much add free (for one 
reason or another).
Just take a look how reckless add usage ruins application usability on 
Android.
I'm fine with donations, paid/premium versions, etc. but please no adds! :)
