@drekly@Plswrk, nobody needs to work for free, but creating incommings by spying the user to sell his data to third party isn’t an acceptable way to gain money. There are a lot of methodes to gain money in the network, but with surveillance advertising spyware is the worse and with big risks for the user, which can’t control where his personal data ends up.
@drekly, simple ads are not a problem, if they are based on the content of the page and not based on user logs. Ads as is only can be somewhat annoying if there a lot in the page or they appears in the middle of a concert in YT, but no are a risk for the user privacy, no more than a commercial poster in the street or an ad in TV. As with all, bad the abuse. Years ago you saw 1-2 banners in a page, but novadays you must seek the webcontent between advertisings, banners, cookieadvices and popups
@drekly, no ok, blocking trackers is legit selfdefense, but also the abuse of ads, blocking these also is needed. Only it isn’t a problem when a web shows an banner image or two, this can be tolerated, but not the abuse of ads currently and annoying popups, it is legit to block this crap.
@drekly, I don’t use any third party client for social networks, less a proprietary paid one. It’s like using a privacy browser, using Google as search engine. There are enough Spyware in the mobile which make trouble to eliminate, no need to install more.

He just put ads in his app mate. He’s not in the CIA

What are you even talking about. Have you used sync?

But each one that makes him happy
So nothing you said is relevant to the topic of sync, which is why I’m confused.
Exactly.
