Oh man, Sync is just so great and only $20 to get no ads you should give it a try!
Play store link: Sync for Lemmy
Comment on As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. đĽ˛
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠agoI agree, just wish they would stop mentioning how their app is âjust so great and only $20 to get no adsâ in every single thread and every other post on every instance

Are âtheyâ in the room with us right now?

what happens when you say sync in the mirror 3 times

But thatâs more in response to people saying it cost over 100$ to remove ads and it has trackers.
The ultra life time cost 100$, it stops the ads and also comes with some extra features that isnât needed to enjoy sync.
For 20$ the ads will stop and the trackers will be disabled.

Why would you need to pay $20 to access free content? Devs donât pay any creator who makes you scroll Lemmy. They are useless and sell you air.

If someone sell an air purifier, would you berate them for selling access to free air? Of course not, your can still get free air without it. The air purifier just make the free air feel nicer. Just like sync making browsing free Lemmy contents feel nicer.

This feels a bit more like setting up a ticket booth outside a public library, and offering a half-assed tour where the guide just reads the signs to you
Iâm going to roll my eyes any time someone says they canât use the library without it, but you do you. If it keeps yâall reading, then thatâs fine.

You donât need to do anything, just keep on using the FOSS apps. Itâs all good. Itâs all about having choice.
The content isnât really âfreeâ the people running the servers need to be paid also. If nobody would donate or they donât use any other form of getting funds, the servers wouldnât last.
Sync just provides a way to get to content in a nice polished way, at least thatâs how experience it. I could watch ads but I paid for a more better experience.
Both need to make money to eat and keep things running.
When you take a taxi to see a movie, nobody thinks that the taxi driver shouldnât be paid.

The only comments I personally see are complaining about the price. Most people just use it. I subscribed instantly and knew I would before the price was revealed. Iâm only saying it because itâs on topic now, but tend not to get into the discussion because in the end itâs up to the individual whether or not the cost makes the app worth using.

I use Sync because it was my favorite client for reddit but Iâm definitely gonna hold out on paying until there is a sale or something. My usage of Lemmy is not that high at the moment.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
And I would never say that anyone should pay for something unless they feel it to be worth the price. Just like I wouldnât tell someone not to pay for it because I think the price is too high for me.
Iâve used Sync for as many years as I was on reddit. I paid almost nothing for the app back then compared to the amount of time Iâve spent on it.
Klystron@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
My comment to that is in every single thread and every other post on every other instance someone is saying how sync is ad filled and tracker heavy. So letâs just all agree to never talk about apps, ever.
JDubbleu@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I wasnât a Sync user on Reddit, but Relay didnât make it over to Lemmy. Sync has some of the most non-intrusive ads Iâve ever seen, and thatâs coming from someone who is extremely anti-ads. Theyâre very different from the actual posts and super easy to just scroll past. Itâs also very clearly made by someone who is great with UI/UX.
