Developers, be careful!

There's a code line into this plugin, that randomly set the author publisher-ID's to display his banner Ads into Apps:

the code I am referring to is "src\android\AdMob.java", by the following code line if((new Random()).nextInt(100) < 2 && ct() < 3) publisherId = getTempBanner();

NOTE: the getTempBanner function reads http://sample-env-1.ydy8pxiph3.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/?adtype=banner&appid= to get a publisher ID other than the app developer: surely the author publisher-ID's

I think this is extremely unfair: 1) this feature subtracts revenues to the app developer 2) there is no reference to this in the author plugin description's

That's right, we rely on that 2% to fund our development costs. If you do not want to have it, then please use another plugin. However most other do the same.
