You can maneuver all you want, it is spyware. My hobby work is free. I don’t track my users nor do I inundate them with ads. I believe that’s unethical.

My work work is not available for free in any capacity whatsoever.

He chose to go down that path. No one forced him. It’s a brain dead argument mate.

Oh and btw, it is free in some capacity. You do not have to pay to use the free version. It’s literally called the fucking free version.

He doesn’t deserve any reward for making spyware/adware garbage. His app is at odds with the ethos of lemmy. Fuck your ad hominem.

Rightfully so, because it tracks you, collects and sells your data and inundates you with ads, which is literally every single fucking thing lemmy was built to get around.
