I never expected this. What a shame.
Edit: the ads part are not an acceptable add-on for me, as someone who respects privacy and foss. I don't know of a single foss payment processor (lmk if one exists). A lot of people here are saying "pay what you want", but it's that way now, with GitHub donation links; we don't need this in the fdroid app.
They want to add paid apps where you need to make a payment before getting access to the App. It's not the same as the current donate approach
No, I understood what they're trying to do. As far as I know, there are no foss payment processors, so adding a non-foss one would defy fdroid's current foss-first approach.
Then, people on this post's comments are saying that they would be good with a "pay what you can/want" concept, but, again, that's already the case with donations. It's literally how donations work.
I don't think Fdroid is so large to be able to create something such as a Foss payment processor. If they could do that, it would be awesome.
The GNU foundation is working on GNU taler. But, it's not adopted by any known bank, or fintech company.
The slight difference being its present on a source repository/website and is optional. Instead of being tightly integrated in the app like they desire.
GNU Taler looks neat. Hopefully it will take off.
The optional part of the donation payments is what makes them a donation. It can be a fund page, like the buymeacoffee, if the git link is too complicated (which it can be for some).
