我是 [伟途亦可思] 开发者，最近有不少人通过 App 反馈问我为什么加广告了，以及 V 站上也有几个相关的帖子，所以我说明一下。
1.为什么开发 [伟途亦可思]
App 是 19 年上线的，因为我之前属于 V 站重度用户（截止今天 V 站连续 1500 天），我个人又比较喜欢用 App 来浏览内容，所以我就开发了 [伟途亦可思] 这款 App ，然后上架到 AppStore 并且在 V 站做了一些推广。我的初心是打算一直免费并维护，做到最好的 V 站第三方 App 。从 19 年到最近，也确实是一直没收费，并且去年开发了 Android 版本，同样也是免费无广告的。
2.为什么最新版本要加广告?
去年我的开发者账号是 10 月份到期，我没有继续续费了，因为这些年除了 [伟途亦可思] 我基本也没有别的 App 长期上架，加上我最近逛 V 站频率很低了，所以不打算继续维护了，而且 Apple 每年 688 的账号费用也不想继续交了。下架了以后，一直有用户通过邮件或者在 V 站问我，怎么不上架了，下不到了。在犹豫了一段时间后，上周我还是又续费了 Apple 账号。但是我想的是这次我想把这个账号费用赚回来，不然我没有继续维护的动力了。所以重新上架后，我就开通了收费下载，但是开了一天以后，我就感觉我应该先加广告，然后后面再做一个无广告版本，然后我就改成免费的。没考虑到 App 变成限免这回事，导致那两天下载量飙增，V 站竟然有人说我是为了骗下载。。。(我看了一下数据，那天就一个付费下载用户，如果看到这个帖子，可以联系我，后面出了收费版我送给你。)
然后在最近的版本，我就加上广告了。我之前上架过不少 App ，这次是第一次加广告，可能广告展示的太大，然后就看到 V 站有几个帖子在说要卸载，广告太恶心，也有用户在 AppStore 评价号召大家一起卸载。。。
Liri Albag's relatives demonstrated in support of a ceasefire deal in Tel Aviv on Saturday
Hamas has posted a video showing a 19-year-old Israeli captive, as indirect talks between the group and Israel on a ceasefire and hostage release deal resume in Qatar.
The footage shows Liri Albag calling for the Israeli government to reach a deal.
She was taken hostage along with six other female conscript soldiers at the Nahal Oz army base on the Gaza border during Hamas's October 2023 attack. Five of them remain in captivity.
The announcement of renewed talks came as Israel intensified attacks on Gaza, with Palestinian rescuers saying more than 30 people had been killed in the bombardment on Saturday.
One strike on a home in Gaza City on Saturday killed 11 people including seven children, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.
Images showed residents searching through rubble for survivors and the bodies of the dead wrapped in shrouds.
"A huge explosion woke us up. Everything was shaking," neighbour Ahmed Mussa told AFP.
"It was home to children, women. There wasn't anyone wanted or who posed a threat."
The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had struck more than 100 "terror targets" in the Gaza Strip over the past two days and "eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists".
Responding to the video showing their daughter, Liri Albag's parents said it had torn their hearts to pieces and they appealed to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "make decisions as if your own children were there".
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum Headquarters, which represents hostage families, said the sign of life from Liri was "harsh and undeniable proof of the urgency in bringing all the hostages home".
In a call to Lira Albag's parents, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said his country's delegation would remain at the negotiating table until all hostages were returned home.
Israeli officials have previously described the release of such videos by Hamas as psychological warfare.
Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians on Saturday
On Sunday the Israeli military said it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, the latest in a series of such attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi movement.
The Houthis said they had fired a "hypersonic ballistic missile" towards a power station near the Israeli city of Haifa. The group says it began targeting shipping in the Red Sea and firing projectiles at Israel in response to Israeli military actions in Gaza.
The current war began when Hamas attacked southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage.
Israel's military campaign to destroy Hamas has killed more than 45,700 people, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
On Saturday the Gaza health ministry said all three government hospitals in northern Gaza were completely out of service and "destroyed" by the Israeli military.
The Israeli military has imposed a blockade on parts of northern Gaza since October, with the UN saying the area has been under "near-total siege" as Israeli forces heavily restrict access of aid deliveries to an area where an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people remain.
Late last month the Israeli military forced patients and medical staff to leave Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, alleging the facility was a "Hamas terrorist stronghold" and arresting the hospital director Hussam Abu Safiya.
It said it had facilitated the transfer of some medical staff and patients to the Indonesian hospital nearby. But the Gaza health ministry said on Saturday that that hospital had also been taken out of service, along with the hospital in Beit Hanoun.
World Health Organisation chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus again called for an end to attacks on hospitals and health professionals. "People in Gaza need access to health care," he said.
Israel says its forces operate in accordance with international law and do not target civilians.
On Saturday the Biden administration said it was planning an $8bn (£6.4bn) arms sale to Israel. The weapons consignment, which needs approval from US House and Senate committees, includes missiles, shells and other munitions.
The move comes just over a fortnight before Biden leaves office and Donald Trump takes over as president.
Washington has consistently rejected calls to suspend military backing for Israel because of the number of civilians killed in Gaza.
Su Min has captured the curiosity and awe of millions of Chinese women with her video diaries
Sixty-year-old Chinese grandmother Su Min had no intention of becoming a feminist icon.
She was only trying to escape her abusive husband when she hit the road in 2020 in her white Volkswagen hatchback with a rooftop tent and her pension.
"I felt like I could finally catch my breath," she says, recalling the moment she drove away from her old life. "I felt like I could survive and find a way of life that I wanted."
Over the next four years and 180,000 miles, the video diaries she shared of her adventures, while detailing decades of pain, earned her millions of cheerleaders online. They called her the "road-tripping auntie" as she inadvertently turned into a hero for women who felt trapped in their own lives.
Her story is now a hit film that was released in September - Like a Rolling Stone – and she made it to the BBC's list of 100 inspiring and influential women of 2024.
It was a year of big moments, but if she had to describe what 2024 meant to her in a single word, she says that word would be "freedom".
Su Min
Su Min's newest SUV is her third car in the four years she has spent on the road
As soon as Su Min started driving, she felt freer, she told the BBC over the phone from Shenyang – just before she headed south for winter in her new SUV with a caravan.
But it wasn't until 2024, when she finally filed for divorce, that she experienced "another kind of freedom".
It took a while to get there: it's a complicated process in China and her husband refused to divorce her until she agreed to pay him. They settled on 160,000 yuan ($21,900; £17,400) but she is still waiting for the divorce certificate to come through.
But she is resolute that she doesn't want to look back: "I'm saying goodbye to him."
The road to freedom
In her new life on the road, Su Min's duty is to herself.
Her videos mostly feature only her. Although she drives alone, she never seems lonely. She chats with her followers as she films her journey, sharing what she has been cooking, how she spent the previous day and where she's going next.
Her audience travels with her to places they never knew they would long for – Xinjiang's snow-capped mountains, Yunnan's ancient river towns, sparkling blue lakes, vast grasslands, endless deserts.
They applaud her bravery and envy the freedom she has embraced. They had rarely heard such a raw first-hand account about the reality of life as a "Chinese auntie".
"You're so brave! You chose to break free," wrote one follower, while another urged her to "live the rest of your life well for yourself!". One woman sought advice because she too "dreams of driving alone" and an awe-struck follower said: "Mom, look at her! When I get older, I'll live a colourful life like hers if I don't get married!"
For some, the takeaways are more pragmatic yet inspiring: "After watching your videos, I've learned this: as women, we must own our own home, cultivate friendships far and wide, work hard to be financially independent, and invest in unemployment insurance!"
Through it all, Su Min processes her own past. A stray cat she encounters on the road reminds her of herself, both of them having "weathered the wind and rain for years but still managing to love this world that dusts our faces". A visit to the market, where she smells chili peppers, evokes "the smell of freedom" because throughout her marriage spicy food was forbidden by her husband who didn't like it.
Su Min

For years Su Min had been the dutiful daughter, wife and mother – even as her husband repeatedly struck her.
"I was a traditional woman and I wanted to stay in my marriage for life," she says. "But eventually I saw that I got nothing in return for all my energy and effort – only beatings, violence, emotional abuse and gaslighting."
Her husband, Du Zhoucheng, has admitted to hitting her. "It's my mistake that I beat you," he said in a video she recently shared on Douyin, TikTok's China platform.
A high school graduate, he had a government job in the water resources ministry for 40 years before retiring, according to local media reports. He told an outlet in 2022 that he beat his wife because she "talked back" and that it was "an ordinary thing": "In a family, how can there not be some bangs and crashes?"
When duty called
Su Min married Du Zhoucheng "really to avoid my father's control, and to avoid the whole family".
She was born and raised in Tibet until 1982, when her family moved to Henan, a bustling province in the valley along the Yellow River. She had just finished high school and found work in a fertiliser factory, where most of her female colleagues, including those younger than 20, already had husbands.
Her marriage was arranged by a matchmaker, which was common at the time. She had spent much of her life cooking for and looking after her father and three younger brothers. "I wanted to change my life," she says.
The couple met only twice before the wedding. She wasn't looking for love, but she hoped that love would grow once they married.
Su Min did not find love. But she did have a daughter, and that is one reason she convinced herself she needed to endure the abuse.
Su Min
Su Min learned to surf in the waters off the coast of Hainan in February 2021
"We are always so afraid of being ridiculed and blamed if we divorce, so we all choose to endure, but in fact, this kind of patience is not right," she says. "I later learned that, in fact, it can have a considerable impact on children. The child really doesn't want you to endure, they want you to stand up bravely and give them a harmonious home."
She thought of leaving her husband after her daughter got married, but soon she became a grandmother. Her daughter had twins – and once again duty called. She felt she needed to help care for them, although by now she had been diagnosed with depression.
"I felt that if I didn't leave, I would get sicker," she says. She promised her daughter she would care for the two boys until they went to kindergarten, and then she would leave.
The spark of inspiration for her escape came in 2019 while flicking through social media. She found a video about someone travelling while living in their van. This was it, she thought to herself. This was her way out.
Even the pandemic did not stop her. In September 2020, she drove away from her marital home in Zhengzhou and she barely looked back as she made her way through 20 Chinese provinces and more than 400 cities.
It's a decision that has certainly resonated with women in China. To her millions of followers, Su Min offers comfort and hope. "We women are not just someone's wife or mother… Let's live for ourselves!" wrote one follower.
Many of them are mothers who share their own struggles. They tell her that they too feel trapped in suffocating marriages – some say her stories have inspired them to walk out of abusive relationships.
"You are a hero to thousands of women and many now see the possibility of a better life because of you," reads one of the top comments on one of her most-watched videos.
"When I turn 60, I hope I can be as free as you," another comment says.
A third woman asks: "Auntie Su, can I travel with you? I'll cover all the expenses. I just want to take a trip with you. I feel so trapped and depressed in my current life."
'Love yourself'
"Can you have the life of your dreams?" Su Min pondered over the call. "I want to tell you that no matter how old you are, as long as you work hard, you will definitely find your answer. Just like me, even though I'm 60 now, I found what I was looking for."
She admits it wasn't easy and she had to live frugally on her pension. She thought the video blogs might help raise some money – she had no idea they would go viral.

Su Min's stories have touched millions of Chinese women who feel trapped in their own lives
She talks about what she's learned over the years and her latest challenge – finalising the divorce.
"I haven't got my divorce certificate yet, because the law has a cooling-off period and we are now in that period."
One of her followers wrote that the money she paid her husband was "worth every penny", adding: "Now it's your turn to see the world and live a vibrant, unrestrained life. Congratulations, Auntie - here's to a colourful and fulfilling future!"
She says it's hard to get a divorce because "many of our laws in China are to protect the family. Women often dare not divorce because of family disharmony".
At first, she thought that Du Zhoucheng's behaviour might improve with time and distance, but she said he still threw "pots and pans" at her on her return.
He has only called her twice in the last few years – once because her highway access card was tied to his credit card and he wanted her to return 81 yuan (£0.90). She says she hasn't used that card since then.
Undeterred by the delay in securing a divorce, Su Min keeps planning more trips and hopes to one day travel abroad.
She's worried about overcoming language barriers, but is confident her story will resonate around the world - as it has in China.
"Although women in every country are different, I would like to say that no matter what environment you are in, you must be good to yourself. Learn to love yourself, because only when you love yourself can the world be full of sunshine."
There was overnight snow across much of the north-west of England
Published
Liverpool say "every effort" is being made to ensure Sunday afternoon's Premier League match against Manchester United at Anfield goes ahead.
A safety meeting was held at the ground on Sunday morning to assess the weather and travel conditions following overnight snow in the north-west of England, with the match due to kick off at 16.30 GMT.
Following an early morning inspection, league leaders Liverpool said: "At this stage the match is planned to go ahead as normal and every effort is being made to get the game on."
A further safety meeting will take place at midday to "assess the latest conditions".
Liverpool have a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, while United are 23 points behind their rivals in 14th place.
The weather has caused disruption further down the football pyramid, with the League Two matches between Chesterfield and Gillingham, and Fleetwood and AFC Wimbledon, postponed on Sunday morning.
The Women's FA Cup third-round tie between Nottingham Forest and Burnley at the City Ground has also been postponed.
Horse racing at Plumpton in Sussex was called off but Sunday's meeting at Chepstow is expected to go ahead.

The M23 says it is protecting ethnic Tutsis from persecution
Rebel forces backed by Rwanda have captured the town of Masisi in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to various reports.
This is the second town seized by the M23 group in as many days in the mineral-rich North Kivu province.
The group has taken control of vast swathes of eastern DR Congo since 2021, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.
Angola has been attempting to mediate talks between President Félix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart, Paul Kagame. But these broke down last month.
"It is with dismay that we learn of the capture of Masisi centre by the M23," Alexis Bahunga, a member of North Kivu provincial assembly, told the AFP news agency.
He said this "plunges the territory into a serious humanitarian crisis" and urged the government to strengthen the capacity of the army in the region.
One resident told AFP that the M23 had held a meeting of the town's inhabitants, saying they had "come to liberate the country".
The Congolese authorities have not yet commented on the loss of the town.
Masisi, which has a population of about 40,000, is the capital of the territory of the same name.
It is about 80km (50 miles) north of the North Kivu provincial capital Goma, which the M23 briefly occupied in 2012.
On Friday, the M23 captured the nearby town of Katale.
It accused the Congolese government of not doing enough to tackle decades of conflict in the east of the country. Rwanda has previously said the authorities in DR Congo were working with some of those responsible for the 1994 Rwandan genocide against ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
The M23, formed as an offshoot of another rebel group, began operating in 2012 ostensibly to protect the Tutsi population in the east of DR Congo which had long complained of persecution and discrimination.
However, Rwanda's critics accuse it of using the M23 to loot eastern DR Congo's minerals such as gold, cobalt and tantalum, which are used to make mobile phones and batteries for electric cars.
Last month, DR Congo said it was suing Apple over the use of such "blood minerals", prompting the tech giant to say it had stopped getting supplies from the country.
In this the second of the pair of articles showing paintings exploring the physical and optical properties of winter ice, I resume my account in 1883, after Impressionism had started to sweep across Europe.
Frits Thaulow (1847–1906), Winter at the River Simoa (1883), oil on canvas, 49.5 x 78.5 cm, Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo, Norway. Wikimedia Commons.
The Norwegian artist Frits Thaulow was one of the Nordic Impressionists who met in Skagen, Denmark. During the 1880s he developed what came to dominate the paintings of his later career, optical effects on the surface of rivers. He painted this scene of Winter at the River Simoa in 1883. A lone woman, dressed quite lightly for the conditions, is rowing her tiny boat over the quietly flowing river, toward the tumbledowns on the other side. The surface of the river shows the glassy ripples so common on semi-turbulent water, and the effect on the reflections is visibly complex. The distant side of the river is also partly frozen, breaking its reflections further.
Frits Thaulow (1847–1906), Spring Thaw (1887), pastel on canvas, 48 x 73 cm, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden. Image by Bodil Karlsson / Nationalmuseum, via Wikimedia Commons.
Thaulow’s Spring Thaw from 1887 captures perfectly the peculiar softness of such scenes in early spring, as the meltwater is still icy cold and ice remains around its edges.
Emile Claus (1849–1924), De ijsvogels (The Ice Birds, Skaters) (1891), oil on canvas, 148.5 x 205 cm, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Gent. WikiArt.
Emile Claus’s dazzling view of a small group of skaters in The Ice Birds (1891) was inspired by a contemporary novella, and shows the flooded swampy area near Waregem when frozen over in winter. Claus draws a distinction here between the less reflective surface of snow, and the ice that’s richly coloured in the winter sunlight.
Jahn Ekenæs (1847–1920), Women Doing Laundry Through a Hole in the Ice (1891), oil on canvas, 67 × 108 cm, Private collection. Wikimedia Commons.
Another Norwegian artist, Jahn Ekenæs here demonstrates that even in the bitter Nordic winters, the washing still had to be done, and only one of the women in his Women Doing Laundry Through a Hole in the Ice (1891) is wearing anything on her hands. Broken blocks of ice in the right foreground demonstrate its thickness, although that’s barely adequate to support the horse and sledge in safety.
Lesser Ury (1861–1931), Tiergarten in Winter (1892), pastel on paper, 50.7 x 35.7 cm, location not known. Wikimedia Commons.
One of Lesser Ury’s more conventional motifs, his beautiful pastel of Tiergarten in Winter from 1892 shows the large park to the west of the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin, with its blue river frozen over and a good covering of snow.
Hans Andersen Brendekilde (1857–1942), Melting Snow (1895), oil on canvas, 108 × 124 cm, Fyns Kunstmuseum, Odense, Denmark. Wikimedia Commons.
Hans Andersen Brendekilde’s Melting Snow from 1895 is a wonderful depiction of a harsh winter in the country. An elderly couple are doing the outside jobs in typically grey and murky weather, in the backyard of their thatched smallholding. He has walked down to fetch a pail of water from a hole in the ice on the river. Around it the ice is discoloured from contaminants in the water and surely not fit to drink.
Eugène Jansson (1862–1915), Riddarfjärden. A Stockholm Study (1898), oil on canvas, 112 x 42 cm, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden. Wikimedia Commons.
During the early New Year of 1898, Eugène Jansson painted Riddarfjärden. A Stockholm Study from his studio, with ghostly blue ice covering much of the water below. A small steam vessel is making its way along the ice-free channel towards the foreground.
Lovis Corinth (1858–1925), Ice Rink in the Berlin Tiergarten (1909), oil on canvas, 64 × 90 cm, Private collection. Wikimedia Commons.
When Lovis Corinth lived and worked in Berlin, he too painted the occasional urban landscape of the city, including this wintry Ice Rink in the Berlin Tiergarten from 1909, where Berliners are skating on frozen lakes in the city’s zoo.
Edward Adrian Wilson (1872–1912), The Great Ice Barrier – looking east from Cape Crozier (4 January 1911), watercolour, in “Scott’s Last Expedition” (1913). Dodd, Mead, and Company, New York, Volume I, Page 51. Wikimedia Commons.
A couple of years later, at the other end of the earth, Edward Wilson’s watercolour of The Great Ice Barrier – looking east from Cape Crozier was painted in the austral summer, on 4 January 1911. This shows small groups of penguins on the ice cliffs at the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf in the Antarctic.
Tom Thomson (1877–1917), After the Sleet Storm (1915-16), oil on canvas, 40.9 x 56.2 cm, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, ON. The Athenaeum.
Back in the Northern Hemisphere, the young Canadian artist Tom Thomson painted After the Sleet Storm in his studio during the winter of 1915-16, from oil sketches he had made in front of the motif. This shows the beautiful effects not of frost as such but of sleet frozen onto the canopies of birch trees, in the winter half-light. Pale pinks and blues shown on the trees here are reminiscent of spring blossom.
Tom Thomson (1877–1917), Snow in October (1916-17), oil on canvas, 82.1 x 87.8 cm, National Gallery of Canada / Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, Ottawa, ON. The Athenaeum.
Thomson’s Snow in October (1916-17) is another well-known studio painting that Thomson made the following winter. Its fine geometric reticulations of frozen white canopies are a surprise, and an opportunity for the artist to use subtle colour and patterns in its shadows.
It’s high time to return indoors and warm up with a glass of mulled wine.
