At least with Boost (my favorite reddit & Lemmy app).

Boost adds ads of its own.
-
At least spez doesn't profit from those
-
How do you figure that?
They run ads and subscriptions to afford the API, which is paid to spez.
-
This is just incorrect. Nobody pays for API in Boost, it uses the API directly. The official app was shut down after the API got restricted.
-
"after the API was restricted"
The restriction is 3rd party apps have to pay for API.
Here's the reddit post from Boost's developer. https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/13wstr2/with_apollo_facing_api_prices_upwards_of_20/
There are hacks that keep Boost working but the ads are Reddits.
-
Yes, I'm aware. It uses the API. There are no ads.
