The amount and type of ads is just too much to handle.
White border fast paced ads on top of every comment section and every ~20 Posts is just too much …
Syncs business model is not acceptable for me.
I wanted to buy sync adfree but 18€ is just too much.
I will switch to an open source alternative.
i really dont get the issue, pay or switch. Its always been an ad supported software unless you pay, and as someone who paid AND quit Reddit over loosing access to Sync I think its totally worth the price.
This is where I’m at too. This was my most favorite app in Android back when I used to use Reddit. Gave up on Reddit because Sync wasn’t allowed. I think it’s worth the price for the effort that LJ Dawson put into the app.
But to each their own.
Just leave already then, it’s fine.
No no no on the internet you don’t understand. You can’t just leave quietly. You have to make sure everyone knows you’re leaving.
It’s a weird thing to complain about. There are so many other apps out there, and while I think this app is worth every penny and that it is the best Lemmy app I totally understand that the price isn’t something everyone can stomach.
Just try something else. I personally don’t think any other app is as good but I do think they’re all great and worth trying.
Dude or Dudette, you’ve plenty of choice. If you don’t want to pay for the software, no problem! Download an open-source app. Problem solved!
I’m pretty sure no one wants you to pay for something you don’t appreciate.
You have many other options. Good luck.
Use an adblocker. I use adguard and have never seen an ad in sync.
Syncs business model
Given that you clearly know it’s a business, why are you then expecting special treatment? If you like it, use it, if not, there are alternatives available.
Eternity for Lemmy is a good alternative.
There are so many clients without ads, use a different onr
I just stumbled over your post at random. I use Voyager and it’s great…
I dunno, I bought it for Reddit 14 years ago, and bought it for Lemmy in the hour it was available. It’s great, 18€ is nothing really
Try Thunder or Eternity. Both are pretty good, and the best open source alternatives I’ve tried. I paid $20 for Sync at launch, and now that LJ is back at it, I’m using it again.
$20 one time for an app I use every day is not that much really. It’s the price of an average meal out. Or maybe 1.5 cheaper ones. You’ll forget you even paid it in a couple weeks.
