Except Crystal didn't sell out. They're add a white list that you can complete disable. If you're going to smear another company, at least get your information straight.

i taught they getting paid (by Eyeo) to give users by "default" Acceptable Ads with the option to opt out. please correct me if i am wrong.

Sorry for the typos I was on my phone and angry from the misinformation. But yes. They, by default, have a whitelist that shows "acceptable" ads. However you can just flip that option off and continue using Crystal the way you have been using it. No additional charge. That isn't selling out. That's a minor revision to the app that ads a feature that some of the user base wouldn't mind because the complaint is over "unacceptable" ads. And for the username that doesn't want ads at all of any kind they can still select that option.
