Welp, time to start looking for alternatives…
Can’t blame the dev for wanting to cash out on his work, but I am not going to keep using apps that will get ridden with ads and trackers.
YOU Apps are quite good
The f-droid version should be ok for now, but if you installed this from the malware distribution channel aka the Playstore I would recommend to deinstall them before the next update hits.
You can turn off automatic updates for now, that’s what i’ve done until i have replacements, either forks of these or alternative apps
One of the big contributors is forking the project.
New organization at https://github.com/FossifyX, looking at the discussions it looks like it’s off to a good start
Thy for the heads up.
Sad to see it go
This is some depressing news

The good thing is that unlike the old QuickPic fiasco, here the apps are GPLv3, so these are 100% gonna be forked, still gonna see if i don’t keep all the eggs on a single basket
A fork has already been created by the other developer - https://github.com/FossifyX
