My wife played one of those unscrew games which showed lots of ads in between runs. I convinced her to buy the ad-free package for $5, so she doesn’t have to endure those ads.

While the game indeed was ad-free after that, there was no progress possible anymore as everything suddenly cost 3x the virtual coins than before. Basically forcing you to shell out even more money to buy their stupid coins.

We’ve refunded the IAP and that was that.

i don't understand why more tech savvy people don't use on-device DNS blocking like with RethinkDNS
