It would be a good idea for all voters to specify which platform brings them money, and if the money comes from ads or from selling apps. For me, it's Android, ad-based applications.

My ad-supported app has been going through review for two months! Ouch.

Just to throw my 2 cents in. With the new Mac App Store, it's not just about mobile apps only. There's good money to be found in all flavors of app stores. http://www.10millionapps.com/2011/02/anatomy-of-a-mac-app-st...

actually, for me the revenue is steadily growing. That's the advantage of ad-based revenue

Tim Bray's graph isn't of revenue against time, it's of revenue against rank (i.e., whether the app is the best, second-best, third-best, in terms of revenue).
