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 j for the beautiful app.

EDIT: 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!

It's.the principle of it.

Sync's dev is being greedy. Most of the reason why I left Reddit was because they were being greedy.

I'm not supporting that shit.

I dont really think hes being greedy, hes just continuing the business model of sync from before. $20 for a lifetime of no ads isnt crazy is it? In 2015 i paid $5 for lifetime of no ads with the reddit version.

There are a ton of FOSS lemmy clients if you dont like it.

You sound like the type of person I wouldn't want to work for... you're here posting so you're interested but not if the labor has to be compensated? Crack that whip, big daddy!

If the steaks that smell so good you're here at the restaurant cost too much, LJD isn't telling you to go to McDonald's with your poor ass... Just slap "dns.adguard.com" in your provider hostname and enjoy a great app?

Apps on play store needs to pay a fee annually/monthly. Where do you think the dev would get the money from?

So the 'principle' is that developers shouldn't be compensated for their hard work because it inconveniences you, is that right? Comparing a $20 lifetime purchase to the Reddit API pricing debacle is completely ridiculous. You sound incredibly entitled.
