Bro πŸ˜… Let's not get into a silly argument. I can tell you are young. Obviously we all want perfect apps, no malware, no tracking, easy and free. Life doesn't work like that. There are tradeoffs to make. And everyone has their opinion. I'll give you an example: I could ban all apps that don't use Tor because privacy, right? Well, that would be excluding everyone in Cuba. Is that the right decision? If you like that model use Play Store or F-Droid. I choose to keep most things and give users the option because not everything is clear cut. You disagree? Run your own catalog. You can't reasonably come here demanding things for free and not even being grateful. This shit is incredibly hard to build. Derek, Matt, Vitor... do you really think they live off v4v? Making a name for myself is all I care about πŸ˜‚. Dude I'm a nobody and I'm working my ass off for 10x less pay than in fiat land.

"we should allow spyware and malware from the zapstore because if you disagree you must be young" Is this the most retarded argument I've seen on nostr? No, far from it.
When you believe there is no nuance, and that an ideal product should be handed to you for free, right now, and without any effort from your part, it means you have little experience dealing in the real world. So it has to do with being young, but there could be other reasons.
Fran when you create excuses for others it means your a kiss ass. Here we go with all the stupid assumptions i'm not going to debunk you point by point because you obviously don't get what a standard practice is when it comes to safety & procedures. The real world as you put it doesn't tolerate slop which is minimal effort with no regard to the userbase or call them consumers. The idea that damage has to be done first & you have to start losing traction after bad publicity in order to start doing the right thing is ridiculous. What I see fran is you have next to none experience with the world because of how you responded. F-droid takes proper caution by inspecting the apps then building them themselves & making sure it fits not being malicious before publishing to it's repo. Yes they do have some stuff labeled with anti-features for apps with proprietary components but they make the effort they don't just allow any app to go in so they can make a name for themselves. Sure you want to argue time, effort, resources hey it's a fucking economy start charging devs to list in your repo. Oh if you do they might make their own store or list their own repos in f-droid or other stores welcome to the world where most people give shit for free because nobody pays for it. Hey did you notice so far every nostr apps been free & you haven't purchased a client yet? What's your ideology shit effort should be free while standardized effort & practices which is fair & for all should be charged for? Instead of wasting time fran why don't you think about ways more people can be given an incentive to give people more then 21 sats. Imagine in the real world if you tipped people 2 pennies for everything? You'll get dirty looks for sure hell you might even get your ass kicked & then called a cheapscape.
Your own incompetence has nothing to do with my age. No I don't think people should be sold spyware apps and told they're not, that's dishonest scammer behaviour. In the real world that shit would get you stabbed to death, but all you cowards hide behind the internet
Agreed Kanye I see it all the time they be like you can't give me feedback or disapproval unless you develop yourself or are a paying subscriber. Feedbacks feedback take it or leave it but the people will say it that's the freedom of expression.
Not at all. Don't confuse a demand with an entitled attitude as "feedback". I hate spyware, spam and scams as much as you. I'm working on ways to mitigate it. You have zero claims on what I do with my time, is that not clear? You're welcome again if you ask kindly. End of conversation.
Google, appstore, las IAs antropic openia,etc son spyware, o se comportan como tal, porque no veo que vaya donde sus desarrolladores a criticarles y putiarlos? A no puede porque son directamente cerradosπŸ€”. Luego porque no usted mismo crea alguna herramienta para analizar apps de zapstore para encontrar spyware,cosas que rompen la privacidad,etc y lo libera de codigo libre a la comunidad para que los usuarios lo usen de manera sencilla, y no este ahi simplemente pidiendo cosas
