Ad blocker author's blog post: "I've pulled Peace from the App Store"

http://www.marco.org/2015/09/18/just-doesnt-feel-good

        I've pulled Peace from the App Store. I'm sorry to all
        of my fans and customers who bought this on my name, expecting
        it to be supported for longer than two days. It'll keep working
        for a long time if you already have it, but with no updates.  If
        you want a refund, here's how you do that.  As I write this,
        Peace has been the number one paid app in the U.S. App Store for
        about 36 hours. It's a massive achievement that should be the
        highlight of my professional career. If Overcast even broke the
        top 100, I'd be over the moon.  Achieving this much success with
        Peace just doesn't feel good, which I didn't anticipate, but
        probably should have. Ad blockers come with an important
        asterisk: while they do benefit a ton of people in major ways,
        they also hurt some, including many who don't deserve the hit.
