I don’t think Boost is open source

oh, so that's why it has ads, they don't care about their users... alright... I'm not interested in this conversation anymore

HOW FUCKING DARE THEY NOT WORK FOR FREE, FLAIL THEM NOW

This is a bad mindset. Even though FOSS software is a good thing, but there is nothing wrong to make money from their hard work, you cannot and should not force developers to work for free if they don't want to.

If you want free software then there are FOSS alternative options out there and nobody forces you to use Boost.
