Showing ads = exploiting and abusing your users.
Correct, well almost correct. It’s not showing ads that’s the problem. It’s the tracking needed to show targeted ads.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Sync already does this exact same thing. Be careful complaining about it too or the dev will get your lemmy.world account banned.
Why would you support (buy) software that does something you believe is wrong?
The developer chose to put in ads and use Google’s ad network. That was not a requirement, it was a choice.
Especially as Lemmy has even worse moderator tools than reddit (without custom tools) and the devs don’t give a shit.
The ads aren’t the problem. The chosen ad network that invades your privacy is.
The problem doesn’t go away by paying for it. The developer is still using the privacy invading ad network for everyone who doesn’t pay. They have the option to not use that ad network but that would result in less ad revenue.
