It's not the charge money part. It's that it charges money and then still grabs and sells toms of your data. That's something the Lemmy crowd is super opposed to even in free products, but a subscription to have your data sold when the service itself (Lemmy) is hosted on a donation basis and does not cost the devs a cent to use is too much.
Most of that opposition is directed at the Sync devs of course, not against some user who has made the decision that the proposal is good and decided to use Sync.
It literally doesn't do that. If you pay for it, the ad code doesn't even initialize, thus performing no tracking. And crash analytics are optional.
At least, if we trust Laurence. I wish it was open source so we could verify, but I choose to trust him.
Hey, you do you. I'm weirded out that the app makes you accept all that stuff and is only one commented line away from collecting your stuff. But I'm not here to lecture others. If you enjoy the app and think it's money well spent, I wish that you get out of it what you hope for and that's enough for me.
That's a fair take, in my opinion.
