I wasn't trying to be a jerk but...ok. maybe I was. You made a very simplified and general statement about hating ads in applications and that you're glad you're "part of a modding community where this type of crap can be taken care of." There's only so much people can read into your statement and start making assumptions. Was that how I read your post? Honestly, yes. Two other posters alluded to the fact that ads serve as a source of revenue. This is the internet. People will have to make assumptions based on given information unless you're specific.

Your statement below:

It's the advertisements on our cell phones I have a problem with. I would prefer to have an ad free cell phone. I'm the type of person that will pay for a shirt that doesn't have any branding on it. Which also relates to my preference of paying for software that I don't have to have a popup on my frickin cell phone. That is very annoying to me. Some people don't mind, some do. To me, it's clutter, a waste of space, and I have never clicked on a banner ad (cell phone or computer). I prefer a clean, organized, uncluttered look. If we're talking about supporting software developers, I support them, but not enough to want popups on my phone. In anycase, I'll be looking into removing/blocking the ads from my cell phone.If the developers want to provide free software, great. If they want to charge, that's fine too. But don't clutter up my phone with junk I don't want.
is much clearer in why you dislike advertisement in applications. Had you said something to that effect earlier, the whole tone of this thread would probably not be about "the ads is for generating revenue" or "you can do X to bypass it". It would probably be different. I agree with EGOvoruhk, ask the developers to create an ad-free paid version and see what they say. Maybe I was harsh but I was trying to make a point. And since you do fully support the work of developers and all their efforts, then
