Comment on In case you missed it: Fossify (A fork of Simple Mobile Tools)
naught@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoexcept the current user base, that doesn’t care about FOSS as you or I do, will continue using the original app which will net them a non-insignificant amount of ad revenue, which is their entire purpose for existing. Makes sense to me

I suppose it’s silly of me to assume that anyone using a FOSS app is automatically not an idiot lol

They (like myself) mostly downloaded SMT apps from the Play Store, and of course just update them without looking at it since then.
The store page doesn’t have anything suspicious looking about it even now (who’s going to notice the missing ‘s’ at the end of “Offered by Simple Mobile Tool”) and it still says it’s open source.
