It would honestly shock me if the monetization from ads exceeds the costs of having a slightly shittier app.

I wonder if one of these “and oh well also sell ads” plays has ever worked? Adding secondary monetization via ads always struck me as a move of desperation when it comes from a non-entertainment app.



It strikes me as desperate and tacky. Definitely not a great look for a company that already produces pretty bad apps.
