Comment on As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲

  Sync is no spying no shit, google ads spy as much as they do in any other site or app you use

  Dawg, I have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and a phone OS owned by Google… If sync spying on me is the worst part then I’m doing pretty good.

  I pay 2 bucks a month to show the dev I appreciate his hard work.

    If you own a Pixel you could always use GrapheneOS! It’s been wonderful on mine!

      Graphene on my Fairphone is pretty great. I do use Sync though because it’s great 🙃

  Not Sync, it’s AdMob and Google.

  I paid for Sync to toss some money to a dev responsible for the #1 used app on any of my phones for the last 10 years. I paid a criminally low amount back then for how much I used the app.

  It happened to also come with ad removal, but I block those and trackers on my network anyway.
