I don't deny that. But who cares about CPM? If you have the same amount of C's and less M, the R has not increased, in all likelihood. > But forget the revenue. > OK.

What do they care about instead? You are beginning to sound like a politician. I appreciate your perspective and the tip, but lets not act like anyone who doesn't do it your way is against providing a good user experience. An app which does not provide a good user experience even *with* monetization is in trouble. You are essentially asking b0b and William to give away the full version of their app for free. Maybe not everyone can do it your way - no need to demonize them. I don't have ads in my app, so my user experience is guaranteed to be good, right? No, I have plenty to work on. Then again, people pay for the app, which you might consider hostage or blackmail. And I do have one ad in my demo app that points them to the paid one. I have no intention of disabling it. But that's only if you think ads are the only factor in the user experience. I'm sure you are spending even more time thinking about making the experience better for the 97.5%, though. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of issues that are more important to your users than ads.
