And no open source app I’m aware of has ever succeeded at ads, and very few at paywalls. Instant fork and forget.
This is part of why I’m bearish on FOSS.

Cute another purple cat for me to follow
foss is the most used code in the world
intellectual property is a bad concept, we need to rethink how we reward the creative
copyfree is more my idea, reward more the more something is used
I haven’t been in foss that long but I have yet to see anyone even try to charge for anything.
There’s a few with a paid tier, and a few that charge for the convenience of getting the app from the platform’s store. Threema does this for instance.
samourai wallet has successfully found a way to generate revenue from whirlpool coinjoins, the entrance fee also functions as anti sybil attack and is therefore beneficial for the user for privacy gains
sparrow wallet then implemented whirlpool and takes a cut from from the entrance fee that come from sparrow users
beautiful FOSS in action
Doesn’t Samourai have atomic swaps?
