Personally a big factor: I haven't had the Zod creator scrape my email and send me a newsletter asking for money. That kind of soured me on ajv.

Ohp. That sounds pretty annoying. Was this a GitHub scrape of places using the library?

I'm not 100% sure, they most likely scraped the author emails of all NPM packages that (transitively) depend on ajv. Here's the GitHub issue from back then: https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv/issues/1202

No problem!

Just to make it explicitly clear, I only received one email - reading my earlier comment back, it made it seem like there maybe was more. It could have definitely been worse!
