I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra and that’s also fine.
But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.
Now I really don’t mind the ads in apps if it’s the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.
This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent…
I just get Temu ads really. They are few and far enough between that I dont mind them.
I’m grateful this is a step up from the ads I often get on Snapchat which are usually gambling sites or alcohol brands.
Would be curious how difficult it was for ads to be incorporated into a lemmy client though. Also how do they decide what ads to play.
