    Why, even FOSS needs support. See OBS Studio, Wikipedia etc. Without supports good projects go to waste.

    • Developers can decide to introduce it in their apps or not. I am sure not every QT developer will adopt this.
    • People will be able to opt-in, opt-out. I am pretty sure they provide us with an option.
    • Most people do not donate, so an additional income thing could help.
    • The other option would be crypto.

    We are not talking about MS who introduce ads in Explorer which need some ad-blocking, hosts or registry hacks. Linux is more transparent and there will be options to control this.

    Do I like it, nope. But it is better than alternatives to shutdown project because lack of funding or struggling to expand because only few people are willingly to donate.
