Well, we had a good run Joey. Removing app as of today because of ads. Reddit simply isnt worth paying for.

I have principally nothing against u/codesForLiving decision to introduce ads, I understand why he would want that. However I as a consumer am not ready to pay for the service that is "using reddit", regardless of how good joey is. I also can't stand the ad-bar at the bottom (especially the moving ads...). So therefore I have deleted the app from my phone, and simply gone to browsing reddit via the chrome app instead.
Summing up, I think the developer deserves my feedback. He has created a great product, however when he takes decisions that nullifies the usability of the app for some people, it's in everyones best interest that this is communicated. Hence my post.
No REE'ing here, although I am sad to see it go.

I get you man, it's just that you're not paying for "using Reddit" you're paying for the benefits this app has over the official version. Understandable if the features do not make up the difference for you. Personally I prefer the banner ads to the ones present when scrolling through Reddit as it is easy to just zone out the banner ads imo. Ofcourse I guess banner ads are more of an issue if you have a smaller screen though many of us don't have this issue.
All down to what you wanna do and I appreciate that, also Codes is working on ads that appear as you scroll as they do in normal plebbit, so I'd keep your eyes peeled for that if the ads are your only gripe with Joey :)

Sure, but the service that joey is inherently selling is reddit itself.

This would be an infinitely better way of monetizing on the app.
