Do you expect bread to be free or coffee to be free? Why we expect apps to be free even from google? How do you think small app developers earn money by displaying ads? But we want ads to be blocked and don’t want to pay money

Ads within the app are fine, and I don't think many people who download a free app expect to have zero ads unless it says it.

THIS app, however, displayed ads outside of the application when the phone was unlocked. It's not the same thing, and it's not ok.
