The web is broken, IMHO
So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.
I am 99% sure that these companies cause what effectively are DDoS attacks that many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

I'm trying to get the biggest vendors to sponsor the LVFS. The Linux Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs out of their IT budget, and Red Hat pays for all my time -- but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. I'm trying to find funding to hire a part time "me replacement" so that I can go on holiday for a week without stressing about internet and email.
