Come on, for f*ck’s sake, remove this !
Donate to pay for their bandwidth.
A lot of people don’t understand that it costs money to host servers and make software available for download. It’s important to understand that this service costs money.
That doesn’t legitimize a countdown à la adfly.
You’re arguing that it’s not legitimate for someone who is doing work and running servers for free to prompt you to donate?
I’m arguing it’s not legitimate to make the user endure a freaking countdown.
The banner is fine. The additional click is fine. All nonprofits do it. But the countdown ? Hell no.
OK, pay them for better bandwidth then.
You’re using services they provide for free. They can do whatever the fuck they want.
@KaKi87 in a world where AI scrappers literally DDoS sites with open source software…yeah I don’t mind waiting 5 seconds for something I’m getting for free.
This countdown is older than AI.
@KaKi87 doesn’t matter. We get this stuff for free, maybe one in 100k person will read the message, become the supporter. I totally don’t mind waiting
You’re freeloading. Stop whining about waiting for a few seconds for a free service that doesn’t sell your private data to the highest bidder. For fucks sake.
Well, boo-fucking-hoo
Well, if you want you can just host your own store via VPS. Its not that expensive really.
I do have a server actually. How big is this store ? If they tell me they’ll remove the countdown if I mirror it, I will.
