Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.
[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.
There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don’t agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!
If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

Fuck off.
Im not paying you to remove the Ads that you injected into an addless service. Theres a half dozen other Lemmy apps already that dont pull this bullshit. And honestly synch doesnt do anything those apps dont. So other than being a mindless consumer or someone whose easily influenced by these vote manipulation shill posts, why the actual fuck would I spend money on it?
I spent money on it because someone spent the time to make the thing and I like the thing. Should people not get paid for making a thing? Do you only want to have something unpaid volunteers made?
I’ve been involved in open source stuff for decades, and it’s pretty close to dead for user facing things. The biggest reason is that no one can get paid for their efforts.
Hear hear! Here here even! Putting ads into a free service, then asking for money as a subscription to remove them. FFS. How can people fall for this? If your app is good, and I like it, I’ll pay. But don’t pull that crap.
Hey man you get my vote!
Adding a subscription too, WTF it’s literally the crappiest business system (on top of creating a problem, ads, and asking money to remove it).
You know 17$ a year is more than giving 10$ to the Lemmy Devs and using a free reader (give 5$ to them too a year and you still win)!

I’m not saying I’m entitled to anything, I’m not asking for anything. I don’t want to use sync for free, because there are tons of other free lemmy apps as well as the regular Web lemmy that are all free and without ads (I guess all those apps created themselves for free right)
I’m telling the OP to fuck off for making a post commanding people to buy premium time.
Do you think sync devs are entitled because they the actual content from lemmy for free, stuff their own ads in their to make money from it?
Get a grip dude. Throwing a tantrum isn’t going to get me to spend money on that app. Nor respect someone making something worse with ads to try and coerce people into paying for it.
