Third party apps didn't show ads, so I guess ad views didn't change that much after the blackout. They might even have gone up a bit with some users who started using the "official" ad-laced app.
I would have stayed, and paid, to continue using 3rd party apps with an ad-free experience. Now, I don’t pay, or see ads, as I don’t go there at all. What a result; well done.
Absolutely same.
Wiped clean two accounts with 12 & 11 years worth of content, plus some alts. No way I'd let them profit off my stuff.
