I honestly think mobile ads in free games and other apps are some of the lowest quality piles of garbage I’ve ever had the misfortune to see, and they are constant. How did we get to this point? Where they are so horribly unbearable and yet so commonplace?

    There’s simply no “free” stuff out there, unless it’s specifically released as free/open source.

    If you’re on Android, AdAware and Lucky Patcher are quite effective in filtering/killing most ads though.

        Yep, working nicely and receiving regular updates. Many apps can’t be patched to bypass the payment anymore since they authenticate via Google servers, but at least you can patch out the ad server paths. Haven’t had any total failure yet.
