imagine paying for an app icon… what next ? paying for a ringtone like in the good old days?
Reverse it. Make it play an annoying sound without paying, only changeable with premium. Late stage capitalism in its finest.
I would probably pay tbh. I hate my home screen looking bad. I’m on Android and use custom icons, but if I had no other options I’d pay for it.
You are, what they call in the field, a “sucker”.
I’m just someone who will pay for something to look good. If that makes me a sucker then I guess I have too much money.
You do.
What you just described is called ransom.
This won’t work on android because changing icon is trivial lmao
Assuming people know how to do that, this is preying on those who don’t.
It reminds me of all the nagging and lying that MS does, telling people who download other browsers that Edge is better for example. Almost everyone here with a bit of technical knowledge knows that is ridiculous. Now Edge already has 5% market share, more than Firefox though.
I‘m just glad seeing this place more and more active. Old stupid Reddit, you’ve made the Digg-move.
