      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.
