This idea actually turned me off using Sync for Lemmy or other apps that have their own ad injection capability, as you have to pay to turn off ads but the ad tracking payload is still baked into the app, so is it really off or is it on but not showing the ads that it is still tracking data for in the first place?
Same here. I ended up using C9nnect for Lemmy as it doesn't collect any data.
Agree, but other options are punished. Back in the early days of Reddit Sync, he made a Reddit Sync Pro app that never had ads at all, but Google punishes duplicate apps. So there's not really a good alternative option due to the ecosystem.
Is it otherwise free? People seem to hate ads but love using free stuff.
Does Lemmy.world have ads? Cuz thats the free stuff I'm using, a front end glorified RSS feeder is a stretch to allow even more ad tracking.
