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 lj for the beautiful app.

[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.

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!

I mean i agree the dev should be paid for the work. But it just seems a bit odd to require a subscription to remove ads using a service that does not have ads or backend cost from a api. I think there should be no ads or at the very least a one time purchase to remove just ads. Like I understand a subscription for like power user features. And i am not some cheap ass complaining I have probably given the dev 100+ dollars in support between patreon, ultra subscription, ultra lifetime purchases.

But the dev already confirmed that they'll put a one time payment for removing ads though, just not in this beta release.

That information should be front and centre.

Yeah LJ clearly underestimated how much people hate subscriptions here

Really should have checked any thread on lemmy.ml about Sync then.

But when you serve ads on a platform that doesn't have ads, why would I use the ad enabled app when I can just go on the actual site?

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone needs to make their own decision but IMO Sync’s UI is a million times better than the actual site even with ads.

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But there are tons of other third party apps that are ad free that are just as good as Sync.
