AFAIK they didn't -- instead they said they were an entertainment org instead of a news org.

Ok, but have you heard of kamikaze bullets?
Not quite -- to keep domestic discontent low, they've had conscription. Legally, conscripts aren't allowed to be deployed outside Russia except in case of war. Mobilization means that they can forcibly draft people and seize things.
Important notes:
- There is no war, just a special military operation
- It's possible that the declared annexation was to be able to send conscripts into southern and eastern Ukraine since they'd be "Russian" as far as Russian law is concerned
- Conscription could previously been dodged by paying a small fine, which many did. The government has noticed and has been steadily increasing the penalty.
- No chance like a war to nationalize your neighbor's house
Is a Patreon or something similar in the works for people who want to support this transition?
Might be able to move the cache around, but the app location is probably outside of the purview of the app itself.
