This was the second time, so it wasn't really unexpected. Maps.me was foss, then they sold it, and the original devs forked it after the sale, that's how Organic Maps came to life. They started to sell out AGAIN, but now different devs forked it before it could have been sold. Current version of Organic Maps already contains some ads.

    The current version of organic maps has ads?! Can you corroborate this with evidence?

    Also how the hell was maps.me captures, then organic maps also?! Who are the VC leeches sucking our community dry. They need to be called out.

    This is no longer in the app, to be clear. It was removed in may 2025.

    Exporting my stuff from organic today and switching to comaps. Also fuck those devs, they know exactly what they're doing.

    It's manipulative, deceptive, outright fraud, and narcissistic behavior on the part of organic maps devs. Fuck them absolutely.
