Yes, 3 ad networks (one not in use) and Firebase (crash reporting and analytics) Twitter Mopub is wrong. It is not included in the app.

I keep trying to work people through this but lemmy is filled with contrarians who see people getting excited and want a reason to be angry.

There is nothing in boost that any other app with admod lacks. Getting ad free means none of this is active. It's said every time this stuff it posted but people don't bother to read passed the angry stuff.

To be fair, that's pretty much the entire Internet.

Thank you for your work, sorry you have to deal with so much negativity.

I got down voted the other day stating that just paying for the app would disable all that. Devs need to make money too. It's either ads and tracking or pay some how.

Outside of a few amazing people out there who do this just for fun, most people would like some kind of return on investment.

Am I wrong?

Its okay, this all happened with Sync. They'll find something else they don't use to rage at soon enough.
