Look, I know that developers have to recoup their money somehow...and I don’t mind the odd pop-up ad, but recently, they open up with those infuriating, long game ads which force you to wait through some nonsense you have no interest in and which has zero to do with the site itself or horror in general, before they finally allow you to escape via a microscopic x cancel icon.
This practice enrages me and any time a developer resorts to those type of ads, I immediately uninstall the app. I would much much MUCH rather pay a small fee than have to stare at a screen with white hot hatred, so furious that I’d rather get rid of it rather than risk a cerebral hemorrhage just to read the same information on their website hassle-free.
Seriously—you might lose a few people with a .99 charge, but you’re gonna lose a helluva lot more if you insist on mentally waterboarding anybody who might show an interest.
