Maybe you went to somewhere like APKmirror or some other site to get the APK because you refuse to pay them find out you really like it and want to support development. I’ve done something similar before with steam games, which isn’t the same thing, but they’re both in a similar ballpark.

That doesn’t make sense. You have to pay before using it so you won’t know whether it is your favorite or not when you pay.
