I previously considered tracking IP addresses in turn for giving ad-revenue back to the community, however due to negative response, if the app were to be monetized in a way that also gives back to the active users I would need an alternative way to stop bots & cheaters that are inherent to anything with real currency value without using any personal data.
UPDATE:
I will avoid all IP tracking and be completely transparent about that. However, if it is desired to give back to the active users, I will need an alternative to stop the bots & cheaters, they are inherent to anything that Involves real currency value.
Also regardless to the comments below, there is a login as guest option that uses no personal data
"Fully anonymous"
"will track IP"
"Have my word I do no track or log IP address"
"I will track IP addresses"
Wow is this the first time a dev advertising anonymous software has admitted they plan to sell their userbase (once that userbase builds their content for them enough) right off the bat?
Its like a enshittification speedrun
my fav bit is the login is only through google or shitter. hilarious!
