Boost dev here. There should be an Ad icon on the top right to report the ad. Not sure why it is not showing in this case. I will try to block those ads in the AdMob console. Edit: Done
Awesome, thank you.
I’m not a boost user, but why does boost have ads exactly? Why don’t you just ask users to buy a license a la grayjay? Make it 0.99 or less. This has a few advantages:
- You’ll make more per user than you ever will with ads
- Users won’t be tracked endlessly
- It’s good PR for the app
Also quick question, where is the source code for Boost? I can’t seem to find it
I don’t think Boost is open source, and you can pay a one time fee to permanently remove the ads
I don’t think Boost is open source
oh, so that’s why it has ads, they don’t care about their users… alright… I’m not interested in this conversation anymore
HOW FUCKING DARE THEY NOT WORK FOR FREE, FLAIL THEM NOW
This is a bad mindset. Even though FOSS software is a good thing, but there is nothing wrong to make money from their hard work, you cannot and should not force developers to work for free if they don’t want to.
If you want free software then there are FOSS alternative options out there and nobody forces you to use Boost.
Use F-Droid, Google store is a malware vendor at this point.

Please. For the love of god, NEVER use a proprietary app to use a piece of FOSS software. I think it’s kind of sad that we have this amazing FOSS social network and people use fucking proprietary software to use it.
