I switched from Android to Sailfish OS because it's nice and ad-free...
I was thinking also about micropayments, does anyone know the Snapchat 3rd
party client Casper?
He uses ads to pay for his servers unless you pay a small fee for the ad-free
version. If I introduce paid content in my apps then I would connect the
donations to the paid content, everyone who donates has access to the extra
content.
The same system as https://protonmail.com/ uses, you get extra stuff if you pay
but you can use it ad-free but limited.

hi,
sorry to chime in late in the discussion but I was at work.
Few months ago I thought about building a pay/license library to overcome the
current limit of jolla app store (there is no option for paid apps) and to
enable in-app purchase.
I didn't start a discussion about it as I currently don't have enough time to
regularly commit to that project, so I felt it would have been unfair to push
an idea but step back from it.
Now I see that some ideas similar to mine emerged, it has been mentioned also
that Qt has a payment library.
All I want to say is that, while I don' like ads in the app as user, I support
the idea of a library that enables app developers to get support either with
upfront payment (pay or the app won't start) or with in-app purchases. It could
very well have also the ad network support as an alternative mean of financing.
As I wrote I have little time for it as developer, but I would consider
participating (financially) to a small startup for that purpose.

Hello Zoltan,
I hope you will find help with your SDK. Not because I like ads (I don't), but
because the platform is free, and everybody should implement what they think
it's best. But first, you should talk to Jolla, because they're the ones that
will eventually allow apps with your ad-SDK in Harbour. And, depending on their
philosphy and principles regarding this matter (yet unkown), they may approve
of your SDK, or not. If apps using the ad-SDK won't be admitted on Harbour, it
will be hard to earn money through it, I think. Also, don't forget Jolla
already has plans for some "SuperApps" or whatever they're called, which is
basically sponsored content. There may be some politics involved here,
regarding ads in normal apps.
Bottom line: ask Jolla if they will allow apps using the ad-SDK on Harbour, and
how does it relate to their already-planned sponsored content in the OS.
Best regards,
Camil

@Camil Bancioiu your concerns are very well based, but I can tell per
experience Jolla QA did not mind the ad in my app back then.
Best,
