Sync has always been a superior UI/UX to anything else.
And I'm happy to pay $20 for the developers work. Ads would barely pay him anything anyway.
I feel like all you lemmings are getting way too hung up on the whole ads = spyware thing. It's not the app that's the issue, it's the ad platforms - and those platforms are how he makes money. Don't like it? Pay $20 for a lifetime without ads.
Sync is good because it's a full time job for the Dev. That means the guy needs money to survive. I'm more than happy to help towards that, so I can have a better experience.
I used sync for Reddit for a loooong time, $20 is nothing compared to the value I've gotten out of it.
Thats because twitters business was advertisement and Musk fucked up one of the most important features for brands. Had they offered twitter premium in addition to verification that got you more features like youtube premium does that would have been fine.
If you can't tell the difference between a small developer and god damn twitter, idk what to tell you other than I guess you do your job for free because paying people for their tallent is bad apparently.
