How does the community stands against paid apps & in-app purchases

Hi Sailors,

How does the community stands against paid apps & in-app purchases? We know that Jolla still hasn't paid app support in Harbour but if a developper himself implent a paid system. Donations won't cut it, your revenue is very low compared to the hours you put it in to develop new features, debug the app, provide support, ... How does the community prefers such paid stuff:

  • A startup screen that kindly asks for a small amount of money but the app still works with all his features.
  • A basic app which can be extended by buying small addons.
  • Advertisement (It's part of this discussion but I don't want it! I prefer the other option here).
  • ... (add your stuff here, it's a wiki!)

I look forward to your ideas, this could be a base on how Jolla could add paid apps support.
