I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

sometimes include malware

None other than the FBI: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221?=8324278624

TIL that the FBI recommends using an ad blocker.

I believe the post above yours is missing a semicolon or perhaps a clarification, so it should read something like:

I won't be buying or using Sync, as its pricing is prohibitive; and ads (in general) sometimes include malware.
