I am totally supporting developers wanting to make money with their product.

But the developer of Photopea has basically built a product for people who want to get rid of Adobe's stupid subscription model and now he tries to force them to pay for his own subscription by breaking the application. That really doesn't sit right with me.

Why would I need to pay 8€/month for image editing features that run in my browser?

It also doesn't help that he went on Github and complained to the developers of uBlock Origin, replying with troll answers like "How can I help you?" but not wanting to accept any other answer than them allowing him to serve ads.

This guy can get rekt, in my humble opinion. I did like the product before this change, though. Does anyone know of similar image editors out there that can batch-crop images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then export them to webp? (GIMP is terrible, sorry 🥹)

I’m confused what your issue is with the dev. He seems to have posted because uBO was breaking the site for premium users and then got told “just stop monetizing effectively.” Only one reply (don’t use such an obnoxious way to insert the ad sidebar) was actually helpful, though it was at odds with part of his monetization strategy (pay for Premium to get that extra space).

If uBO devs had said “Sure, give this account premium access and we’ll check it out” and he’d refused, that would be different, but instead they said there was nothing he could do to help them and banned him from participating.

It also doesn’t seem that he’s intentionally breaking the app when uBO is in use. Rather, uBO breaks the app when ads aren’t being served and he is now detecting when this happens and serving a message about the fact.

Does anyone know of similar image editors out there that can batch-crop images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then export them to webp?

Not similar, but Image Magick can crop images from the cli and has webp support.

He's making it purposely hard to block the ads. The side effect of that is that it's hard to block the ad without breaking the website itself.

[–] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 days ago

The way I read it, he was making it hard to remove the empty sidebar after blocking the ads in it.
