I've found out that the people who actually use these apps love them and would pay for them. Seems that the people who will complain are people who don't really use them anyways but just want to see them out there for free. Personally I dont use them so it doesnt effect me in any way however if i did and I loved them Id pay for them just because it would be part of my job or entertainment.
