If Unity didn't hear developers' screams - they'll probably hear them NOW due to coin flow tinkling less loud:
Azur, Voodoo, and other f2p game companies turn off Unity Ads in protest agains new per-install fees. (link in comments)

It's rather worry about my personal number being freely available than one silly youth crossing boundaries. How come they could find your phone? Surely you didn't make it available for everyone on Linked in, did you?

Most inconvenient questions remain unanswered. You ask developers to trust the judgement on which installs should be counted and which not to a black-box system controlled by you, the party who's financially interested. But you've lost devs' trust completely already.

Ok, I see, the hardest thing in
#indiegamedev
is marketing. So, let's help each other find out what works best!
Post the most viewed tweet about your game here, let's give it even more visibility! Probably, we could figure out a pattern of
#gamedev
success 🤓

I've released my game 13 years ago and it's still up and running, still played by hundreds of players daily, and still puts food on my plate. Should I share the game story on X?

Is it too late for me to start a
#gamedev
career?
I'm 40 and I've never worked in a company except my own
#indiegamedev
game studio which I ran for nearly 10 years.
What would you suggest?

I think that would be unwise for any company to keep working with Unity from now on, regardless of whether they're going to change this new fee policy or even revert it completely. They've proven themselves unreliable and even dangerous as a long-term partner.

As an indie game developer, there are moments of self-doubt when I wonder if my game will ever see the light of day. What keeps you motivated during those times?

I'd rather compare it with hanging a bell beside a door which is being rang by people you don't want to be ringing. There's no real damage done here, just a conversation through an improper channel. Too much fuss around such a minor issue.

Changing things at a scale these companies and their games have might take some time. It be a matter of days, maybe weeks to roll out things - change & update apps, go through app review, deploy to production.
