You should head to the discord. People there literally choking on dev's balls, it's insane.
Your point is correct. While I love the UX and UI, the data collection is a fucking disgrace. Good thing I know how to block trackers, as I'm going to use a patched version of the app as soon as somebody releases one.
My motto is if an app has ads, the dev must be not that good. Otherwise you'd be able to pay for features because they'd develop features worth paying for.
Glad some people here are pointing that out.
Also, having people pay to remove ads on a ad-free platform is just disgusting misuse of open source generosity.
Instead, try to add something instead of infiltrating it with ads just to make money off.
