Have you ever considered that they lied to you and are using you? Seems odd that when they were busy closing loopholes they left the one involving ads alone 🤔

Anyway, perhaps the boycott will do nothing, but doing nothing will certainly result in no positive changes. I have found that things that they told us always came to pass or turned out to be true. My impression is that they have always been honest with us.

And it makes sense. Ad providers only pay a fraction of a cent per Ad impression and an impression is the first time the ad is delivered to a player (I believe in a given period of time. Lets say a day). So even if on average you generate 20-30 different impressions a day (assuming repeats and 180 ads), they are getting maybe 10-15 cents a day on you. Compare that to $1.99 for the 16 IAP, and the math works out.

Ads are the only way for players to get "Free" currency above and beyond game rewards, without cheating. Players only hurt themselves passing them up if they want to continue to play for free.
