Completely agree.

why is that irritating.... Thats a good thing... There is no confusion of what is happening...

When there is async code the expectation is

CODE CODE [start_block { LATER - excuted in main thread }] CODE

Otherwise you write a ton of code with get_main_thread

Agreed. The thing is that after they have put the price to 50 USD it incentivises indie developers to test it out, which intern results in a higher fill rate for the apps. I think this is just a start, maybe there is a lot more.

Just a question is the CPA also really bad compared to the other ad networks?

India has very strict laws about corporate fraud. If you do find that the URL ceases to exist you can put a case on the company with the LLPIN mentioned, even the name is enough. That will cause India to cease the funds and arrest all directors and put them on bail.

Its not that easy to do fraud in India and run away. India is not South Africa, Soviet Union or Middle East. The GDP of India is 1.84 trillion USD. Many companies want to invest in India, especially companies like Walmart, Starbucks and so on.

India has car assembly units of Toyota, Nissan, Renault, Honda, Maruti, Huyndai and many more each costing about 1 billion USD. That type of investment does not come if your country allows easy corporate fraud.

True, however large corporations take large risks also. When you invest in services like this its around 1000 USD. Imagine when companies are willing to take upward of 2 billion USD risk they won't do that unless they are sure.

How is that not a fair comparison... All companies will exist where "there is an advantage" right. But if there was the severe disadvantage of being in India like political and economic instability nobody would like to be there

Hi Yes you are right they are all friends of mine and when I posted about it I requested my friends to check out the app.

Not really

"Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity, sedition (including, for example inciting ethnic hatred), copyright violation, revelation of information that is classified or otherwise."

First someone takes the pain of reporting a security flaw instead of exploiting it to help you out.

Your answer - 'its not a bug its a feature'
