    Fdroid better stay as FOSS and privacy focused. I don’t want to see Spotify or some subscription brand bullshit up there.

      FOSS does not mean “privacy focused”. It means the software is free (as in freedom) and the source code is open and available for modification and redistribution and there are already several subscription-based services on there that I am happy to support.

        Artificial media scarcity subscription models are much harder to implement with licenses like AGPL, but personal data crawlers still pose tremendous risks, especially in the future of technology.

      I don’t believe the F-Droid will ever be implementing any kind of payment processing through the app store.
