Work Correct
by slavomir12·1 month ago
Thank you very much your work developers. I am very grateful for your wok and for your helpful plugin.
I don’t want SPAM ads.
by ryo2net·7 months ago
Suddenly, a large number of spam ads labeled “Sponsored” began appearing.
After investigating the cause, I identified this plugin as the culprit.
I actually liked this plugin’s functionality and had used it for years, but I was extremely disappointed that it embedded SPAM ads without user consent and didn’t even provide an option to opt out.
I immediately disabled it and will never use it again.
Thank you very much for everything up until now.

Been using plugin for years and the latest version has improved a ton of the syncing issues that were present. Works perfectly. Easy setup w/ minimal maintenance, moderation tools do the job too.
