Yeah, just seeing that it will collect data about me for personalized ads was a turnoff. There are plenty of Lemmy clients without ads. I can’t imagine seeing ads while using Lemmy, either.
I’m not advocating for anyone to buy a price they’re not comfortable with, but personally I reasoned that, having used Sync for nearly 10 years, it would be like paying 10 bucks for each of those years for an app that I have used the most out of all the apps in my life
Sync was a huge part of my life (will continue to be), and I am happy to compensate for that.
Or you use discord and direct engagement with users to cultivate a fanclub around yourself, and set them lose to brigade everywhere and defend literally every single decision. Then they’ll cheer you as you become the villain
Storing data usage, personal ads, 21.99€ just to remove ads or a subscription model.
I’m a dev myself and I get that everyone needs to be compensated, but right now I have only one thought:
“You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.”
$170 AUD for a lifetime “ultra” license.
Absolute farce of a price
Where are you even seeing a lifetime option?
Been a long time supporter of sync. Honestly a bit sad to see there’s nothing for those that had pro/ultra before :/

so that’s why everyone hates reddit?
Sync Ultra and Adfree are two different things altogether.
Ultra comes with adfree as a perk among with a ton of other stuff, but if all you care for is adfree, that’s $9.99 lifetime.
Ad free in the app is $22 for me. Does it vary by region? Or is it dynamic pricing? (US)
I’m seeing $30.50 to remove ads. Way higher than I paid for sync for reddit :/
This is the only source of income for the developer

You are saying that the dev does this? Initiating brigades?
