Right, and that's totally fair. But one might expect a more tech savvy userbase to at least try and understand what's going on or being said by other users. Instead, there's just a lot of parroting going on, which is disappointing and also kinda needlessly harmful to the app's / dev's reputation among the users here.

If you used the DuckDuckGo browser, it can act as a fake "VPN" to intercept and block tracking requests from other apps on your phone. Multiple users have shown in the comments of a bunch of different threads that none of the tracking links are firing off when you load / use the app if you've already paid for either the one-time support or the subscription model.
