    increasing ads is not at all a “cause a problem” situation

    Tech executives would disagree with you - creating a problem that users have to buy their way out of is one of the most popular business models going at the moment. The mobile gaming industry, for example, is basically $140B worth of intentionally created frustration.

    There’s been so much written about this obviously scummy practice. It’s everywhere.

    It’s either naive or disingenuous to suggest they’re not obviously trying to annoy cash out of people.
