Something like this was bound to happen. We can’t keep treating these libraries as a public utility and expect it to keep going. I have zero problems with ads if it leads to a more sustainable open source ecosystem. I draw the line at adding telemetry or other data gathering nonsense, but again, it’s not like I’m paying them so all I can say is I hope this ends up being enough.
