I'm sure that everyone on these threads wants to see the Kobo continue and prosper, but the flaw in the argument of the advertising apologists is that there's absolutely nothing to say that these changes to the Home screen are required for Kobo to flourish, and no guarantee that having them on our Home pages will achieve that end. The claims are doubtless well-intentioned, but they're ungrounded motherhood statements, and implying that people who don't want advertising on their Home screen don't want Kobo to be successful is an appeal to emotive bias, like calling an opinion you disagree with undemocratic.
