    Nothing they said was anti-consumer. They’re giving options. Software needs sustainable revenue especially if you want to break Free from Google

    So if you want to do a one-time donation go for it. If you want to do a recurring donation they would enable that. You don’t have to do it

      What purpose does ads serve to the end user? Also I don’t see any reason why F-droid should be a payment system. They should just allow donation links.

        Okay, it’s open source, you don’t have to use their platform. If they want to introduce some monetization stream for people you don’t have to participate. You also don’t have to be angry it exists.
