    pretty sure the venn diagram of f-droid users and adblocking users is such a huge overlap that this may not pay off too well.

    Ads, no, are not ok. F-droid can fuck right off if an ad appears, I’ll just get apks from github

      Those same apks would also include ads. What makes you think if the developer has ads on fdroid, he won’t on github?

    Paid apps: no problem. If it’s good, I’ll pay.

    Subscription: maybe, if it’s worth it.

    Ads: F-Droid can fuck right off. If they do that, they’d be a miserable bunch of sellouts.

    Apparently they don’t understand that the F in F-Droid is for FOSS.

    I’m 100% all for adding a repository with paid apps, but it’s not and shouldn’t be marketed as F-Droid.

      Paid and FOSS are not mutually exclusive. You can always build packages yourself if you don’t want to pay. A well executed implementation might allow some projects to drop or reduce their play store efforts.

        Paid and FOSS are mutually exclusive. Open source and FOSS aren’t.

        But how, you ask? Free means having the right to do whatever you want with your copy including make copies and redistribute. Thus, how can it be free while demanding a payment before allowing usage?

        That’s why I said, FOSS Droid? Nah! Open Source Droid? Knock yourself out. I’m actually looking forward to supporting some of the developers of apps I love.

          One of the things you’re free to do is pay for a copy of the binary. Therefore you haven’t shown that FOSS and paid are mutually exclusive. 😁
