> the behavior is detectable, they are banned

How will DD detect that I put a sticky note on my screen at the spot where ads are displayed?

How will DD detect if a robot is operating the touchscreen or a human finger?

Ships passing in the night. I’m not disagreeing with any of this, and yall still miss the point.

I understand that individuals can make purchases with the DD API. People who want to buy things without seeing ads can always do that. Very few people will do that.

I’m referring to the obvious B2B2C use case where a company embeds DD functionality via the API. Then you’d have to teach the trick to everyone who uses your app or service and that’s not practical. If you skip at the server it’s trivially detectable.
