A few months ago, people were decrying their May $47B MRR number as being gamed (up from $9B at end of 2025). That may be true but we're still seeing huge MoM gains and projections that they'll be held accountable to when then they go public.
I think a few bucks for ad-free brings in more money for most developers, but that still pales in comparison to a recurring subscription model (or models where people keep spending in-app on consumables).
