On the other hand, they are spending real money on development time to fight against an army of independents doing it for fun or personal satisfaction. That's throwing money into a hole they can never fill up
Yeah, as someone in ops in another industry I would just chaulk this up to the cost of doing business, cut my losses, and move on. I can’t imagine most people are using ad blockers.
I doubt they think about the "army of independents" much at all.
With the multiple updates per day they've been hammering out against the ublock origin devs, I would disagree with that. Can't think of a way they would be accidentally hashing it out against each other per matter of hours
They want to get paid, I just don't think they see any competitor as a threat.
